Open source intelligence (OSINT) is the process of identifying, harvesting, processing, analyzing, and reporting data obtained from publicly available sources for intelligence purposes. Open source intelligence analysts use specialized methods to explore the diverse landscape of open source intelligence and pinpoint any data that meets their objectives. OSINT analysts regularly discover information that is not broadly known to be accessible to the public.
A cache is a temporary data storage location that stores copies of frequently accessed data or files to provide faster access to software or hardware. Computers, mobile devices, web browsers, and other applications use cache to speed up data retrieval. Caches allow faster access to this data by removing the need to reload it each time the device/app needs it. Cached data is reusable and can be retrieved directly.
Audit logs provide a rich source of data critical to preventing, detecting, understanding, and minimizing the impact of network or data compromise in a timely manner. Collection logs and regular review is useful for identifying baselines, establishing operational trends, and detecting abnormalities. In some cases, logging may be the only evidence of a successful attack. CIS Control 8 emphasizes the need for centralized collection and storage and standardization to better coordinate audit log reviews.
