Customized OSINT Training for Every Mission

Plessas Experts Network (PEN) delivers highly customized training programs designed to meet the exact needs of government and private-sector organizations. Instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach, PEN adapts each course to match participants’ existing skill levels, from beginners learning foundational tools to advanced users mastering cutting-edge investigative methods. Our workshops, courses, and consulting sessions are continually updated to keep pace with emerging communication platforms and the latest Internet research methods, ensuring that every participant gains actionable, real-world skills in open-source intelligence (OSINT).

Comprehensive Curriculum

Our training covers the full spectrum of OSINT disciplines, equipping participants to gather, analyze, and apply publicly available information with precision and security. Topics range from advanced social media and dark web investigations to automated search techniques, operational security practices, and the use of specialized data collection tools. PEN’s instruction extends into applied OSINT domains, such as cyber investigations, virtual currency tracking, counter-terrorism intelligence, and multilingual internet research—each tailored to enhance operational readiness and investigative depth.

AI-Driven OSINT for the Next Generation of Investigators

In response to the rapidly evolving digital landscape, PEN also offers specialized AI OSINT training that empowers investigators, journalists, and analysts to integrate artificial intelligence into their workflows responsibly and effectively. Participants learn how to utilize AI as a force multiplier through prompt engineering, verification of AI-generated outputs, and the application of core OSINT methodologies, including GEOINT and SOCMINT. Courses emphasize ethical awareness, bias detection, and responsible AI use, alongside practical skills for detecting AI-generated fraud, deepfakes, synthetic identities, and phishing schemes. By mastering these techniques, PEN clients develop the tools and insight to anticipate emerging threats and enhance their due diligence, compliance, and investigative integrity.
