OSINT & Threat Intelligence

Open-Source Intelligence and Threat Intelligence Tailored to the African Threat Landscape

Security teams that only react to what has already happened are always a step behind. The organisations that consistently outperform attackers understand their own exposure from the outside, know who is targeting them, and have a reasonable picture of how those attackers operate before an incident occurs. Open-source intelligence (OSINT) and threat intelligence are how you get there.

We deliver contextualised OSINT collection and threat intelligence services calibrated for the Nigerian and African threat environment. The work goes beyond generic global feeds and surface-level monitoring to produce intelligence relevant to your organisation's sector, geography, and risk profile. The goal is straightforward: your security team should be defending against threats that are actually heading your way, not just the ones that made international headlines last quarter.

WHY OSINT AND THREAT INTELLIGENCE MATTER NOW

West Africa's cybercrime ecosystem has grown considerably in sophistication. Groups operating from the region are now executing Advanced Persistent Threat (APT)-level attacks against banks, government agencies, and multinational organisations. Much of the infrastructure they use is discoverable through systematic OSINT before attacks are launched, if you know where to look.

Business Email Compromise has deep roots in the Nigerian threat landscape. FBI IC3 data put global BEC losses at $2.7 billion in 2022, and Nigerian organisations are increasingly targeted domestically by the same tactics. OSINT-driven reconnaissance is a standard part of how those attacks are prepared, which means it is also a viable way to detect preparation before an attack lands.

Dark web marketplaces actively trade in compromised credentials, network access, and stolen data from Nigerian organisations, and that activity often runs for months before the victim has any idea. Without continuous monitoring, the first indication is usually the incident itself.

Beyond the dark web, every organisation has a digital footprint: exposed assets, employee data, misconfigured services, and systems visible from the internet that adversaries systematically map before targeting. Seeing that surface yourself, before they do, is one of the more practical things you can do with OSINT.

Sector-specific campaigns targeting Nigerian banking, telecoms, and oil and gas tend to follow recognisable infrastructure patterns. When intelligence collection surfaces those patterns early, it is often possible to block known attacker infrastructure before an attack gets through rather than after.

WHAT WE DO

OSINT and Digital Footprint Assessment

We conduct structured open-source intelligence collection against your organisation to map your externally visible attack surface: exposed assets, leaked credentials, misconfigured services, employee information accessible to adversaries, and any existing mentions in threat actor communities. The output is a clear picture of what an attacker researching your organisation would already know.

Dark Web and Underground Monitoring

We continuously monitor dark web forums, underground marketplaces, and criminal communities for mentions of your organisation, leaked credentials, stolen data, and planned attacks, providing early warning before threats reach your environment.

Strategic Threat Intelligence

We provide executive-level intelligence briefings on the threat actors, campaigns, and geopolitical dynamics most relevant to your organisation, giving leadership the information needed to make informed risk and investment decisions.

Tactical Threat Intelligence

We deliver technical intelligence, including Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), attacker Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs), and emerging malware families, in formats directly consumable by your security tools and operations team.

Sector-Specific Intelligence

We produce and distribute intelligence tailored to specific sectors: banking, oil and gas, telecommunications, and government, focused on the threat actors and attack patterns most relevant to each industry.

Threat Intelligence Integration

We integrate threat intelligence feeds into your existing SIEM, firewall, and endpoint security infrastructure, automating the blocking of known malicious infrastructure and accelerating detection of relevant threats.

Incident-Driven Intelligence

When you experience a security incident, we conduct OSINT and threat intelligence analysis to identify the responsible actors, understand their capabilities and likely next moves, and support both technical response and potential legal action.
