In 2014, I used OSINT to scrape public job listings for a client in the underground tank business. Using specific tools, I searched for keywords in plans and diagrams, extracting valuable information. I compiled my findings into reports for the sales team, who then reached out to potential customers about the company's products. This method provided the client with a proactive way to engage leads before their competitors, demonstrating the practical and strategic power of OSINT in business development. Ingenious!
This project demonstrated that OSINT is not just for cybersecurity or law enforcement; it’s an invaluable tool for businesses seeking to stay ahead of the competition. Companies can leverage OSINT to monitor competitors, track industry trends, and gain strategic advantages. The ability to collect and analyze publicly available information can be a game-changer in refining business strategies and identifying new opportunities.
