Harness the Power of Public Data: Anticipate Risks, Protect Your Reputation

With CypherLeap's Open-Source Intelligence Gathering (OSINT), we use the vast amount of publicly available information to give your organisation a vital outside perspective. We carefully gather and analyse data from the internet, social media, dark web, and wider open-source platforms.

This identification helps us understand what an attacker could learn about your company, employees, and infrastructure. This proactive intelligence supports your business harness the power of public data, anticipate risks, and protect your reputation, pinpointing potential vulnerabilities in your digital footprint before they can be exploited by malicious actors.

Our OSINT gathering adheres to ethical intelligence collection best practices and often uses the structured approach of the OSINT Framework.

Methodologies

Our intelligence gathering follows a structured, ethical, and repeatable process:

  • Passive and Active Reconnaissance
  • Deep and Dark Web Monitoring
  • Correlation of Data from Open Sources, Social Networks, and Technical Platforms
  • Framework-Based Approach (OSINT Framework, MITRE PRE-ATT&CK, etc.)
  • Custom Intelligence Reports with Risk Scoring and Recommendations
