Presented by: Sam Powers

This in-depth webinar will explore how open-source intelligence (OSINT) can play a critical role in identifying and mitigating risks related to foreign ownership, control, or influence (FOCI) and preventing the diversion of dual-use technology. As regulatory pressures and national security concerns grow, organizations must adopt innovative approaches to ensure that sensitive technologies do not fall into adversarial hands. This session will provide a macrolevel overview of the global security landscape, discussing the rising threats posed by FOCI and the increasingly sophisticated methods used to divert dual-use goods.

In addition to the thematic analysis, actionable insights will be provided, focusing on how OSINT can be effectively leveraged within a risk management framework. Practical strategies and tools for enhancing compliance and security posture will also be presented.

Key topics will include the following:

  • Understanding the evolving FOCI landscape and its implications for national security.
  • Leveraging publicly available information to identify high-risk entities and dual-use technology diversion pathways.
  • Case studies on dual-use technology diversion, demonstrating how OSINT can support deeper insight and enhanced decision-making.
