Reuser's proven methodology reduces millions of irrelevant search results, empowering researchers to make informed decisions faster and more efficiently based on reliable, validated and representative results.
Why OSINT?
Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) is a revolutionary and proven approach to information designed, developed and practiced for many years by Reuser's Information Services. It is a holistic approach to problem solving, enabling researchers to use an empowering methodology that exploits and combines the best capabilities of human intelligence with the machine intelligence of search engines.
The Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) method enables required information to be delivered as highly relevant research results that can be quickly validated and transformed into high quality intelligence. Therefore, answers are appropriate to the problem and decision making is improved.
The same type of methodology and approach has been applied for our range of Social Media Intelligence (SOCMINT) training and consultancy services.
OSINT Training Programmes
Reuser’s OSINT training courses are designed for students who have different levels of experience and ability. The courses cover beginners to intermediates to advanced to expert level.
To ensure students register for the most appropriate course relative to their ability, an agenda for each level of course is sent to interested parties prior to any student being able to book or join a course.
This process enhances the learning and teaching process, and allows students with similar abilities to comfortably work at the same level during the training. Whilst all RIS courses are fun and high energy, they are also demanding and detailed.
Consultancy Services
As well as offering training services, RIS can assist in consultancy projects, such as Market Studies, setting up Bureaux and Knowledge/Information Centres.
RIS can also offer keynote speakers, master classes and expert panel members for events.

PODCAST – The Power of Open Source Intelligence
The volume of data is exploding. Every day organisations and individuals are creating, sharing and, accessing data. Globally, more and more people are being connected via smartphones and social networks. More and more information is also openly available. In this Big Data world how can you find the information you need?
Google only indexes 20% of the web. And the problem is not going away, by 2020 there will be 50 billion connected devices globally and 44 trillion gigabytes of data. Machine learning on its own can’t solve this problem, you need to empower human intelligence. This has led to an increasing interest in both the discipline and the art of open source intelligence collection.
Machine learning is only part of the solution, you need to empower human intelligence
Listen to former US intelligence analyst and espionage historian Dr Mark Stout in discussion with one of the world's leading practitioners of the art of open source intelligence: Arno Reuser of the Dutch military intelligence service.
Arno Reuser was responsible for migrating the Dutch military intelligence library from an archival to a discovery capability that involved the value-added programming of incoming streams of raw data, and the creation of a virtual organisation that used collaborative techology to optimise open source expertise. This innovative methodology inspired and transformed thinking among the EU, NATO and UN intelligence agencies.
