Demystifying OSINT Series: Putting OSINT for AML into practice

In the 3rd webinar in our Demystifying OSINT series, we run through an end-to-end complex investigation using OSINT tools and methods.

Sean will introduce a real-life alert scenario from a typical AML system as it is escalated for a deeper-dive investigation, while Blackdot's OSINT expert, Brett Redman, will then take us through a real OSINT investigation.

Demystifying OSINT Series: What is OSINT?

How is your investigations team using Open Source Intelligence (OSINT)? In many cases, the answer might be not at all – or very little. It might surprise you to know that OSINT is an established intelligence technique with a host of best practices, tooling and structured approach. Anti-financial crime teams in banks can and should make use of OSINT – but how? In this 30-minute webinar, we cover: 

  • What exactly OSINT is: sources and more 
  • How it’s applicable to financial services and which teams it should be used in  
  • Strategies for conducting OSINT investigations effectively in an enterprise environment

From noise to insight: OSINT visual link analysis for economic crime

Open-source intelligence (OSINT) is essential in fighting economic crime, powering the due diligence workflows that prevent money laundering, terror financing, sanctions violations, and more. But open source data poses huge challenges. It’s big, noisy, siloed and densely connected, making it difficult to navigate, and even harder to understand. 

In this webinar, we explore how visual link analysis allows organisations to overcome these challenges and achieve more effective use of OSINT in the fight against economic crime.

Is OSINT the key to more effective public sector vetting?

Vetting has become one of the hottest topics in law enforcement in recent months. Reviews of vetting processes promise improved thoroughness and higher standards, which are key to increasing public trust and avoiding insider threats.

Yet quality of vetting varies dramatically between organisations, teams and even individual cases - leaving law enforcement and government agencies at risk of being compromised.

We believe that the potential value of OSINT within vetting processes is still not being realised. In this webinar, we’ll explore why.

Illuminating Intelligence in Open Source Data with Videris 5

Every modern organisation should be using OSINT to address business challenges. Yet a combination of too much data, limited access to skilled analysts and security concerns means many are struggling to do so. 

Videris 5 brings a step-change in the way businesses and public sector organisations conduct OSINT investigations. With an interface designed alongside over 50 investigators and unique new ways to identify risk, every team can now use OSINT to maximum effect.

Intelligent Design: The Implications of the EU AML Plan for Financial Intelligence

In July 2021, the EU put forward a radical set of proposals to overhaul their AML/CTF regime. As the plan nears full approval and implementation, we look at its potential impact and implications for how firms should identify and manage AML, CTF, sanctions and other forms of financial crime risk, and what value OSINT technologies can bring.

This webinar is a must-attend for financial crime investigations and intelligence professionals who want to gain a better understanding of these measures and learn how to implement practical changes to ensure compliance with the new regime.

Fighting Fraud with OSINT

Fraud is costing the UK billions of pounds a year, and pressure on government and law enforcement to change this has never been higher. But can OSINT really be used to fight fraud effectively?

In this short webinar for public sector investigators, we’ll explore how and why OSINT is an essential tool in the fight against fraud. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn:

  • How OSINT can be used at the detection, implementation and prevention stages of fraud investigation.
  • How to apply OSINT across a range of common public sector use cases.
  • Which technologies can be implemented to increase the effectiveness of fraud investigations and reduce harm to the public.

Understanding and Preventing Wildlife Trafficking with OSINT

Wildlife trafficking crimes are damaging to everyone. They disrupt fragile ecosystems, spread diseases and will eventually lead to the extinction of some species. What’s more, the individuals behind wildlife trafficking are often using it to support further criminal activity – such as drug trafficking, people trafficking or even terrorism.

For stretched law enforcement teams with limited resources, tackling the criminal networks behind these crimes can seem unrealistic. But through coordination and collaboration between the private sector, NGOs, and law enforcement , enabled by OSINT tools and techniques, fighting these networks is possible.

Overcoming Data Challenges for Fincrime Investigations

Recent EU rulings on data privacy have been widely perceived as a reversal of the trend towards more open data. Yet these rulings come at a time when access to data is more important than ever: compliance professionals are facing increasing demands to enforce sanctions, stop financial crimes and hold corrupt regimes accountable.

In this webinar, Dun & Bradstreet’s Neil Isherwood and Blackdot Solutions’ Antonia Edmunds will explore the challenges of balancing data privacy and compliance effectiveness and explore how Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) can help plug data gaps for compliance teams.

How to Conduct Sanctions Investigations with OSINT

The complexity of sanctions regimes means that screening against lists no longer guarantees compliance - but what else can organisations do?

In this webinar, OpenSanctions and Blackdot Solutions will introduce the concept of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) : the use of publicly available data to draw actionable intelligence on people, companies and more.
