Research of Existing Osint Tools and Approaches in the Context of Personal and State Information Security
The article examines modern tools and approaches to conducting OSINT — the analysis of open sources of information. The key role of OSINT, along with other intelligence methods such as HUMINT, IMINT, SIGINT, MASINT and GEOINT, lies in creating a holistic information field that combines open, technical, human and geospatial sources. The constant development of methodologies and improvement of automation tools allows to increase the efficiency and accuracy of the analysis of the received information, which makes OSINT one of the most important elements of modern intelligence.
