Speed of Collecting Bulk Information
|
|
The internet sphere is an accumulation of bulk information and is expanding rapidly.Thus, it provides a good quantity of open-source data available for the investigator to investigate in a short period, which is not a feature of any other intellectual discipline.

An Enormous Range of Information
|
|
The advantage of working on open-source information intelligence is it covers a variety of national security topics, which is not possible when collecting information by any other intelligence collection disciplines.

Examining For Data from The Recent Past
Collecting information from the post festum events is much more superior as compared to any other discipline. Investigators can gain a pool of information from an event that happened in the past that can help in the investigation and construction of certain, especially recent, past events.

| Low Level of Exposure (Safe Mode) |
OSINT framework is the most risk-free way of information gathering. All the information collected is publicly available over the internet sphere. Making discipline the most reliable information-collecting system, as far as matters of security are concerned. Utilising open-source information access can reduce or optimise the dangerous and complex approach of information gathering using human resources.

Open-source Pieces of Information Do Not Cost Much
Open-source data is publicly available and is cost free. Although, there are certain publications, research and reports provided by think-tank organisations that requires fee to get access to them.
|
Real-time Information Gathering
Open-Source Intelligence techniques make it possible to keep a track of certain events and happenings in real-time. It is possible to follow propaganda that disrupts peace, investigating the consequences of an event, outburst of an epidemic, group of extreme exhibits and the like.

Supports Multi-language Information Collection
|
|
In OSINT, information collected from all over the globe can be translated into one common language by utilising the power of a machine learning-based translator.

|
Real-time Information Gathering
|
|
Open-Source Intelligence Techniques provide information, collected from all over the internet globe, without going to someplace, environment or society. The data can be collected from a single spot like home, office, etc.
|
|
Simple Data Distribution Procedures
|
|
Because here we are dealing with the information readily open to everybody, their distribution is suitable for horizontal sharing and can be made available to the broader public also.
|
|
|
|
Secret Information Authentication/Verification
Using the power of OSINT, we can also check the authenticity of leaked or classified information circulated in open source with the publicly available data. There is a probability that some data was previously publicly identified. We can determine the legality and decide both the content and the origin of secret information, at the same time channelling further collection of classified information.
|
|
Business Intelligence Suitability
OSINT also helps in bringing adequate business decisions, market research, future planning, comparing and evaluating competitors. Open-source data can help to bring the best business decisions, as well as securing appropriate publicity for one’s business outline.

Shoghi has extensive experience in the Intelligence domain with numerous products for monitoring various communication media which has provided deep insight into Internet traffic. The ability to search for potential targets in the vast mass of data gathered from monitoring systems is greatly applied in the search for potential information on specific topics, issues, events from both within and outside the country.
Shoghi has developed an OSINT solution that can be deployed for gaining actionable intelligence from the Internet regarding potential threats from selected individuals, terrorist groups, criminal gangs or adversaries.
