Ten days of focused open-source research training that teaches teams to safely leverage publicly available information through advanced, secure techniques.
CASO I is the CASO training course and the route to CASO certification. CASO instruction delivers focused training in open-source research, teaching participants to safely leverage publicly available information (PAI) through advanced, secure research techniques.
This ten-day course teaches teams the skills needed to navigate and use the digital landscape to gain an informational advantage. Students conduct iterative assessments of their digital footprint while safely discovering, synthesizing, and analyzing PAI data. PAI research helps identify risks to personnel, reputation, assets, and supply chains.
The course features secure digital research, iterative footprint assessments, and open-source research methods. Content can be customized to client needs, ensuring relevant and actionable insights are effectively reported.
CASO can be taken online during a scheduled open-enrollment session, taught by our Mobile Training Team at your location, or in person at one of our classrooms in Herndon, VA or Fayetteville, NC.
