Open Source: Ukraine & the Intelligence Revolution
SPY'S first-ever digital exhibition spotlights the little-known but increasingly ubiquitous practice of Open Source intelligence collection or Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT), and uses the Russia-Ukraine conflict as a case study. The conflict is known colloquially as the first Open Source intelligence war. The exhibition was supported by a grant from General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT).
