A new research report examines the open source intelligence market and offers segment forecasts for the period from 2018 to 2023. The study then sorts the market by product, by distribution channel and by end user.
Open source intelligence, often shortened to OSINT, means gathering and analyzing information from publicly available sources. Because so much data now sits in the open, organizations use these methods to spot risks, track events and support decisions.
The report looks at the market from several angles. The product view covers the tools and offerings sold in this space. The distribution channel view shows how those products reach buyers. The end user view, meanwhile, identifies the types of organizations that rely on open source intelligence.
Forecasts run through 2023, which gives readers a five-year outlook for each segment. As a result, studies of this type are typically used by vendors, investors and buyers who want to judge where growth may come from.
That said, the specific market sizes, growth rates and company names in the study were not available for this summary. Readers who need the detailed figures should consult the complete report from its publisher.
