On the edge of the intelligence topic, there is a conversation to be had around just how valuable the application of OSINT methods is to security. Join us and our expert guests from the field of intelligence as we look to identify the application of innovative OSINT strategies for the security and defence sector.

The general Libyan elections were supposed to be held by the U.N.-promoted deadline of Dec 24, 2021. With the elections postponed, there are rising concerns that electoral security may be at risk of a soft military takeover – or even another civil war.
In addition to the postponed elections, the lingering of non-state actors on Libyan soil raises the question of how the situation can best be monitored and assessed.
Tune in as our host Anne-Lynn Dudenhöfer and Jalel Harchaoui, a researcher specializing in Libya, discuss the postponed Libyan election, the fragile Libyan security landscape, and why OSINT and HUMINT are best utilised in combination.
These are just a few of the questions our experts will touch upon – tune in now for more.
Jalel Harchaoui is a researcher specializing in Libya. His work covers aspects such as the country’s security landscape and political economy. Jalel holds a Master’s degree in Geopolitics from Paris 8 University. A frequent commentator on Libya in the international press, he has published in Foreign Affairs, Lawfare, Politique Étrangère, Foreign Policy, and Small Arms Survey. He is based in Paris.
OSINT expert Loránd Bodó shares a glimpse into the future of OSINT. Together with Anne-Lynn Dudenhöfer, our podcast host and analyst, he discusses the use of social media ecosystems by extremist networks, Telegram investigations in the context of the Russia-Ukraine war, and the Decentralised Web 3.0
Why has Telegram become – and will most likely remain – a critical source in the Russia-Ukraine war? What can be applied from the blockchain technology in the application of OSINT? What advantages or challenges does the decentralised web hold for future investigations?
Loránd Bodó is a German multilingual analyst with a strong background in open-source intelligence (OSINT) and researcher of violent extremists, as well as terrorist entities online. Loránd is also the founder of osint-jobs.com, a project whose mission is to help the OSINT community grow their skills and advance their careers.
BBC Monitoring journalist and disinformation expert Shayan Sardarizadeh and OSINT Analyst Lynn Dudenhöfer discuss some of the ever-evolving disinformation campaigns surrounding Covid-19 and the vaccination mandates.
What are some of the most exaggerated fake news about vaccines in the online realm? Which platforms are commonly used to spread conspiracy theories? Finally, what potential next battleground could conspiracy theorists choose after the topic of the pandemic has come to an end?
Shayan Sardarizadeh is a journalist investigating disinformation, conspiracy theories, cults and extremism for BBC Monitoring and BBC World Service. A journalist for 18 years, Shayan has been with the BBC for nine years and focusing on disinformation since 2018.
How can intelligence gathering inform preventative action, and how can actionable intelligence advise security forces, for example in Cabo Delgado, Mozambique? Furthermore, what issues surround the development of early-warning systems?
Anne-Lynn Dudenhöfer and her guest, Dr. Shelly Whitman, Executive Director of the Dallaire Institute, discuss how to develop predictive models and what the early warning indicators of armed conflict are, which can inform preventative action.
Dr. Shelly Whitman took up the post of Executive Director of The Dallaire Institute Children Peace and Security, formally known as The Roméo Dallaire Child Soldiers Initiative, in January 2010. In the eleven years since, she has spearheaded the establishment and growth of the organization. Shelly has been instrumental in creating a number of key, international agreements and policies on the protection of children, including the Vancouver Principles on Peacekeeping and the Prevention of the Recruitment and Use of Child Soldiers.
