Cyber intelligence, Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), and Social Media Intelligence (SOCMINT) are hot topics right now and becoming more and more popular everyday due to the vast amount of information available on the internet. Intelligence is the analysis of information we identify online. However, many people believe that gathering intelligence online is as simple as typing a simple search term into Google and “bam,” the information they need appears; it’s accurate, precise, and detailed. This can’t be furthest from the truth. It takes an arsenal of resources & tools at your disposal to locate the information needed for your investigations; coupled with the ability to effectively analyze and disseminate the information appropriately.

 These are a few of the reasons why the knowledge, experience, and opinions of Cyber Intelligence expert Joshua McAfee are so valuable. From social networks, search engines, news and media sites, video, images and audio, search tools, ecommerce platforms and more. Josh not only addresses these sources of intelligence but explains how you might want to use them.

 Joshua McAfee has done more than write a book. He’s created a key resource for both those who need a bit of education in the area of Cyber Intelligence and for experienced intelligence professionals who need to verify what a specific intelligence tool offers. I don’t doubt that in a very short period of time your copy will have a ton of notes, highlights, Post-Its and worn out.
