OSINT & THREAT INTELLIGENCE

OSINT &
Threat Intelligence

Open-source intelligence and threat-actor research that maps your external exposure, surfaces leaked data, and provides context on the infrastructure and tactics targeting your industry.

See what attackers see, before they act

Attackers profile their targets from the outside long before any exploit attempt. ShadowCore’s OSINT and threat intelligence service replicates that perspective: a continuous, adversary-minded sweep of public sources, breach datasets, code repositories, marketplaces, and closed-channel chatter that reveals how your organization actually looks to a motivated outsider.

The work blends technical reconnaissance — domain discovery, certificate transparency analysis, infrastructure correlation, exposed service enumeration — with investigation-led monitoring for leaked credentials, exposed source code and configuration files, brand impersonation, and threat-actor activity tied to your sector. Findings are validated to suppress noise and prioritized by exploitability and business impact.

Output supports both reactive use cases (incident scoping, fraud investigation, M&A due diligence) and proactive ones (attack surface reduction, vendor risk, executive protection, and feeding detections into your SOC).

Engagement snapshot

What an OSINT engagement includes

External attack surface

Discovery and mapping of domains, subdomains, exposed services, and shadow IT linked to your organization — including third-party assets.

Leak & credential monitoring

Continuous tracking of exposed credentials, sensitive documents, and employee data across paste sites, forums, breach datasets, and Telegram channels.

  • Credentials
  • Breaches
  • Dark web

Brand & executive exposure

Detection of impersonation, phishing infrastructure, and misuse of executive identities across social platforms and public channels.

Deliverables

Prioritized findings with evidence, confidence scoring, takedown guidance, and executive-ready summaries. Alerting SLA under 24 hours for critical exposures.

Services

Process

Investigation Workflow

A repeatable OSINT process built for accuracy, speed, and response readiness.

01

Scoping

Define entities, geographies, brands, and risk scenarios to monitor.

02

Collection

Gather data from open sources, breach intelligence, and technical telemetry.

03

Validation

Correlate and verify findings to eliminate noise and false positives.

04

Analysis

Assess severity, business impact, and likely attacker intent.

05

Delivery

Deliver reports, alerts, and remediation actions aligned to your response process.

Who it is for

Teams that need outside-in visibility

  • Security and IT teams that need an outside-in view of their attack surface, including assets that no longer appear in internal inventories.
  • CISOs preparing board updates on external exposure, brand abuse, and third-party risk.
  • Incident response and fraud teams that need adversary infrastructure context, IOCs, and campaign attribution during active investigations.
  • M&A, procurement, and vendor risk teams assessing the external posture of acquisition targets or strategic suppliers.
Typical outcomes

What the engagement delivers

  • A current, evidence-backed map of internet-facing assets and shadow IT tied to your organization.
  • Early warnings on leaked credentials, exposed documents, and impersonation infrastructure before they are weaponized.
  • Threat-actor and campaign context that helps prioritize controls and feed detections into your SOC.
  • Reusable intelligence packs and indicators that integrate with SIEM, SOAR, and ticketing workflows.
