What will Nadia be speaking about?

Nadia will be presenting 'Thinking Skills for Effective Investigations'.

The explosion of OSINT onto the modern investigation scene is clearly and inevitably linked to the huge technological advances in recent years. However, this same modern evolution has led to the stealthy yet rapid erosion of basic thinking and planning skills. A combination of supreme convenience and information overload, brought about by 24/7 global information access and social media, has left us exhausted and overwhelmed; vulnerable to faulty reasoning, poor decision making, and analysis paralysis.

This talk invites the audience to take stock of the change and get back on that thinking skills ‘bicycle’ to relearn and regain some control. From basic direction setting to more advanced critical thinking, and with inherent human fallibilities in-between, attendees will learn to build strength into their thought processes and be on the lookout for vulnerabilities.

OSINT Live is a free, full day, training and educational event, taking place on September 15th, 9 AM - 5:30 PM ET. To register for OSINT Live and Nadia's session, head over to https://www.skopenow.com/osint-live.
