Overview

Advanced Open-Source Identity Threat Tradecraft (AOIT², often written AOIT2) is an operational research approach that uses publicly available information (PAI) to gather and disseminate Entities of Interest (EOI) information against specific mission requirements.

AOIT² is a ten-day in-person course that provides the skills necessary to conduct Identity Threat Tradecraft (identification of EOI) research in an open-source environment.

Expedited option for CASO graduates

A five-day expedited version is available for prior CASO graduates whose certification was earned within the previous year and who use open-source research regularly. It builds on the PAI techniques learned in CASO to identify EOI and provide actionable recommendations; the CASO methodologies themselves are not re-taught.

Eligibility

Government only.
