Government Open-Source Intelligence Training and Support
Online activity now plays a role in nearly every government investigation, oversight effort, and intelligence function. When that information is misread, misused, or missed altogether, it can affect public programs, drive the wrong conclusions, impact national security and expose agencies to risk.
Hetherington Group helps government teams protect national security using open-source information to identify and address digital threats and make decisions grounded in credible intelligence.
Protect National Security with OSINT Training
Hybrid warfare and foreign influence tactics continue to threaten national security. With the right skills and discipline to detect and address emerging threats, agencies can reduce risk and protect the programs and interests they’re responsible for.
Hetherington Group’s accredited HG Training trains government professionals to curate, analyze, and communicate open-source information in support of investigations, analysis, and national security.
Led by practitioners with government and military backgrounds, our government OSINT training courses address high-risk intelligence and investigative contexts, including:
- Geopolitical intelligence: Use open-source information to monitor state-linked activity, emerging risks, and developments that affect national interests.
- Disinformation activity: Identify and examine coordinated messaging, false narratives, and influence efforts aimed at public opinion or government programs.
- Threat, fraud, and incident investigations: Investigate online threats, fraud, and other digital activity using open-source information to support oversight, inquiry, and response.
Instruction emphasizes open-source tradecraft independent of any specific tool, so teams retain core skills even as platforms, vendors, and technologies change or become unavailable.
Investigative & Intelligence Support
In addition to open-source intelligence training, Hetherington Group provides investigative and analytical support for select government needs. This work includes identifying online exposure and taking steps to address digital vulnerabilities tied to public-facing personnel.
Decades of Experience Supporting Government Missions
With more than 25 years of experience and over 10,000 professionals trained, Hetherington Group has helped government agencies and national security organizations strengthen the way they use open-source information to protect public programs, steward taxpayer resources, support national security and enhance decisions with public impact.
