Open-Source & Civil Society

Civil society actors are increasingly broadening their knowledge spheres through utilizing traditional and alternative intelligence collections methods.

Open-source has evolved into an essential resource for security actors to tap into, discussed here by Melissa Hanham of the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey.
