Open source intelligence (OSINT) is the information collected from public sources such as those available on the internet. It is, however, not only restricted to internet but rather makes use of all the publicly available sources. OSINT is the insight gained from processing and analyzing public data sources such as websites, radio, broadcast TV, and social media. The main benefit of open source intelligence is that it is less expensive than traditional information collection tools. OSINT tools allow users to cope up with different sources and provide a real-time analysis about any information.

Increase in the amount of open and accessible personal data, corporate content, and government databases to intelligence organizations around the world leads to rise in OSINT investments. Several types of security organizations are investing in open source intelligence tools to increase their monitoring capabilities and research capabilities, in the open web, deep web, and darknet.
Moreover, increase in the use of technology, which includes artificial intelligence is considered as a major opportunity for the open source intelligence market.

Increase in adoption of open source intelligence tools among various organizations and surge in demand for cloud-based OSINT among SMEs drive the growth of the market. In addition, increase in need of OSINT by various industries to gain insights for business planning fuels the growth of the market. However, lack of awareness about OSINT and concerns related to data quality issues hamper the growth of the market. Furthermore, emerging trends such as social media analytics is expected to present major opportunities for the expansion of the market in the future.
