Flashpoint's Involvement in the Open Source Intelligence Conference
Flashpoint, a global leader in threat data and intelligence, is making waves by sponsoring and participating in the upcoming Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) Conference. This event will take place at the Citadel, drawing experts and practitioners together to explore the evolving landscape of open-source intelligence.
Panel Discussion with Industry Experts
Andrew Borene, Flashpoint’s Executive Director for Global Security, will be part of a prestigious panel discussion aimed at enhancing public-private partnerships. Titled “ODNI OSINT Strategy and Vision for Expanding Partnerships,” this panel is scheduled for Thursday at 9 am ET. Borene will share the stage with notable figures like Jason Barrett from ODNI, Chris Thornlow of DIA, and Stephanie Dorsey representing DHS, offering valuable insights into collaborative strategies in intelligence sharing.
Exploring Geopolitical Challenges
The timing of this conference couldn’t be more critical. The contemporary landscape of global security is marked by the onset of new geopolitical tensions reminiscent of a Cold War era. State actors are increasingly utilizing digital platforms not only for espionage but also to manipulate international narratives, asserting their influence across economic, social, and political dimensions. As these adversarial forces advance their authoritarian agendas, the imperative for security teams to stay ahead has grown exponentially.
