In this episode we’re joined by Tony Daly, Managing Director of Seiber, for a deep dive into open-source intelligence (OSINT). Tony discussess what separates professional intelligence work from “spicy Googling,” how seemingly insignificant pieces of public information can expose identities and locations, and why good methodology, verification, proportionality and ethics matter. The conversation also covers digital footprints, social-media privacy, professional OSINT tools, dark-web investigations, AI and search, facial recognition, AI governance, and routes into a career in OSINT.
