Summary/Abstract: OSINT lies at the basis of the current transformations experienced by the intelligence sector, being both a rich source of information and technological innovation, responding to agencies’ various challenges. Besides the operational advantages provided, open sources play an important role in public communication, functioning both as a PR platform, encouraging the relations with beneficiaries and academic circles, and a promoter of security culture. OSINT manages to accomplish the transition from secret sources to open sources, enabling us to talk about a specific symbiosis between classified and public information.
