GENERAL
Our instructors have been collecting, documenting, and analysing digital information on criminal and extremist organizations, international fugitives, money laundering, hidden assets, risk areas, and rogue businesses on behalf of private individuals, companies, and government bodies for several decades now. Recently, our combined knowledge has earned us exclusive accreditation as a training program in the field of Information-led investigations and response:
Digital Information-led Operational Specialist®
This modular post-bachelor (higher vocational level) program, consisting of sequential levels (permanent education and post-bachelor) combines the following methodologies:
- OSINT & SOCMINT: Open Source & Social Media Intelligence
- C-HUMINT: Cyber Human Intelligence (Special Digital Research Techniques)
- PFDAV: Predictive Forensic Data Analytics & Visualisation®
A practical combination of Open-Source Intelligence with special digital research techniques and different operational analyses offers a much broader flow of information that is often necessary to implement preventive or repressive measures. In practice, merely tracing information offers no power of enforcement: usable intelligence only arises when information is placed within a certain context.
What are the target-groups for this program?
This program was developed for all professionals involved in Information-led Investigation and Response (IIR); meaning anyone who uses the internet to obtain, fixate, visualise, and analyse digital information to efficiently achieve and substantiate a predetermined goal. The focal point of this program lies in understanding the online behaviours or activities of individuals, organizations, or businesses. An enhanced understanding will result in more effective digital investigations.
