Essential OSINT for Executive Protection | Pete Jenkins

What is Open-Source Intelligence and how does it apply to
modern-day Executive Protection? Is this something that everyone
should know something about or is it only for a few select
specialists? 


Today we're talking with Pete Jenkins of ISS training, one of the
leading training providers on the subject. We're going to be
looking at the applicability of OSINT in everyday EP operations,
its use as an investigative tool and how we can use that
knowledge to protect ourselves and our clients from unseen
threats.


This is a huge area and we'll be covering a lot in this episode,
including:


What sort of background, prerequisites, or prior learning do
candidates need before they embark on an OSINT course?

Why does today’s EP professional need this skillset? Does
everyone need it, or should it be assigned to a designated,
skilled expert?

How can EP operators use OSINT fundamentals to mask the
movements of their principal?

If you're looking to remain under the radar, what can people
do to stop others from finding them?
