Authentic8 Gold Sponsor of the OSINT Foundation

OSINT Foundation

The OSINT Foundation is pleased to announce that Authentic8 has partnered with us as a Gold Level Sponsor. The OSINT Foundation is the professional association for OSINT practitioners who support the U.S. Intelligence Community. Corporate sponsors support the mission of the Foundation, which is to promote the OSINT tradecraft, elevate the discipline, and develop the practitioner community to advance the national security of the United States. Our sponsors enable the Foundation to provide opportunities for OSINT practitioners to grow through forums, continuing education, promulgating OSINT best practices, developing professional certification standards, and recognizing performance excellence. 

Authentic8 is the company behind Silo for Research, a purpose-built solution for conducting OSINT investigations anonymously and securely. The cloud-based platform ensures sensitive online research is never attributed back to an analyst’s organization or exposed to cyberthreats. Silo for Research is used by more than 600 organizations in the public and private sectors to safely pursue investigations wherever they lead across the surface, deep and dark web.

“The OSINT Foundation embodies our shared vision of leveraging open-source intelligence to drive meaningful impact and enhance decision-making processes,” said Authentic8 VP of Customer Success Matt Ashburn. “Together, we can unlock the vast potential of publicly available information, empowering policymakers with actionable insights and strategic advantage. By fostering innovation, collaboration and knowledge exchange, we can shape a future where OSINT becomes an indispensable tool for navigating our complex world. Authentic8 is honored to support the Foundation and looks forward to driving positive change together.”

Barbara Alexander, president of the OSINT Foundation, commented, “Authentic8’s experience in protecting privacy and security as analysts and investigators access the open, deep, and dark web brings valuable insights to our OSINT practitioners regarding the risks and opportunities they find in their research.  Industry sponsors such as Authentic8 are valued partners in our mission to support OSINTers, bringing cutting-edge tools, techniques, and subject matter expertise to our community. We are pleased that Authentic8 is joining the Foundation, and we thank them for their commitment to our mission as demonstrated by their Gold Level sponsorship.”
