Implementation of OSINT for Improving an International Finance Sector Organization’s Cybersecurity

This work-in-progress paper addresses the need to improve intelligence processes and enhance an organization's response to cyber threats while managing associated risks and improving Business Continuity Management (BCM). The paper focuses on the role of Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) in Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) gathering and presents an operational process for its implementation. The process includes defining goals, selecting open sources, data collection, filtering, analysis, and reporting. Testing in an international financial sector organization yielded positive results, demonstrating the process's value in threat intelligence. Future research should clarify the role of artificial intelligence in OSINT
