Episode: 00234 Released on September 30, 2024 Description: In this episode, Randy Stickley talks about the challenges and importance of utilizing open source intelligence (OSINT) in law enforcement analysis. Randy discusses the overwhelming amount of data available, projected to reach 175 zettabytes by 2025, and the critical need for solid analytic tradecraft to sift through this information effectively. Randy emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and structured methodologies, such as structured brainstorming and red teaming, to mitigate biases and accurately interpret data. Randy also explores the nuances of misinformation and disinformation, highlighting the difficulty in changing entrenched beliefs and the importance of understanding the context and behavior of subjects. The key takeaway is while tools are valuable, they should never replace foundational analytic tradecraft. [Note: Description produced by AI.]
