Online and Offline Security & Situational Awareness (Social Media Integrity)

Large-scale and continuous research into incidents and the causes and consequences of security and situational (un-) awareness by employees has shown that unintended negligent usage of personal and company confidential information is in most cases at the root of a security or privacy incident.

The research is being conducted by OSINTELINK and Tilburg University (i.a.), supported by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs. The results of the research are laid down in various publications, including the report “Information Leakage in the Netherlands – Awareness & Management of Personal and Company Confidential Information” (ISBN: 978-90-818205-0-9).

OSINTELINK provides both private and public organisations with valuable tools to prepare and implement Online and Offline Security & Situational Awareness Raising and Education.
