Open Source Intelligence Segmentation
Technique (Text, Video, Social, Geospatial, Security, Public APIs, and Satellite Imagery Analysis)
In open source intelligence (OSINT) market, security segment is expected to dominate over 32% revenue share by 2037. Security analytics involves a combination of tools used to identify, protect, and troubleshoot security events that threaten the IT system by using real-time and historical data. It identifies security threats, breaches, and possible vulnerabilities. As organizations continue to rely on OSINT for security purposes, the demand for advanced security analytics solutions will continue to grow, driving the expansion and innovation of the OSINT market.
OSINT tools available for security analysis include Maltego, FOCA, Shodan, TheHarvester, and Recon-ng. For instance, the Shodan platform monitors recognized networks and locates devices over the Internet, detects cloud-based data leaks, phishing websites, compromised databases, and other threats. Shodan provides solutions for monitoring all linked devices on the Internet. Shodan is used by over 3 million registered users worldwide, including 89% of Fortune 100 companies, 5 of the top 6 cloud providers, and over 1,000 universities.

The website and search engines segment is projected to hold the largest open source intelligence (OSINT) market share by 2037. Website and search engines play a crucial role in driving the market by providing access to a vast amount of publicly available data and enabling efficient collection, analysis, and visualization. Internet search engines such as Google, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, Bing, and Yandex are primarily used by most consumers to access open source information from various online sources. These search engines index vast amounts of publicly available data, enabling OSINT tools to leverage them for intelligence gathering. Their efficiency in retrieving information drives the demand for tools that can automatically crawl and analyze these data sources.
Social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn are rich sources of open source intelligence. By monitoring and analyzing an individual’s social media activity, analysts can gain valuable insights into trends, sentiments, and potential threats. Another method of using social media as a publicly available resource is web scraping. The use of OSINT software tools can help to extract data from numerous websites and gather large amounts of data quickly and efficiently.
