Event Description
Join us for a Cyber Talk session that examines the rapidly evolving OSINT landscape and its implications for today’s dynamic threat environment. Led by Dallas Toth, CEO of KOAT.ai and an expert in bot behavioral patterns, this technical discussion will explore the importance of understanding the depth of the impact of bot account activity on social media platforms, the accelerating spread of disinformation, and how utilizing partnerships—rather than relying on siloed approaches—enhances information environment operations. We’ll also discuss how an agile and technology-agnostic design philosophy is crucial for building solutions to adapt to evolving adversarial tactics and emerging threats. A real-world use case will showcase how OSINT-driven insights can detect coordinated behavior across multiple platforms, offering robust strategies to counter modern threats in an ever-changing digital realm.
