This week, Micah (@WebBreacher), Christina (@ChristinaLekati), and Michael James (@Ginsberg51050) talk with Alex Slotnick (@BOsintBlanc), a threat intelligence analyst and the case tracking & statistics lead for the National Child Protection Task Force.
Alex talked to us about his journey from Desktop Support to becoming an OSINT analyst, teaching himself the necessary skills to get started, and volunteering within a non-profit, which enabled him to offer the skills he had while also acquiring new ones through practical work and networking. As it turns out, getting this practical experience helped him to eventually get a corporate OSINT job too.
He also talked to us about how he handles his confidence levels when working with incomplete data, and offered practical advice on acquiring several points of verification. As a natural follow-up to this conversation was some advice on handling data that contradict a finding or an investigative conclusion.
Alex talked to us about his work at the National Child Protection Task Force, and answered multiple questions from the audience. He offered recommendations on books, tools, and offered advice on getting into OSINT.
