Think your company’s private data is safe? Think again.

In this episode of Protect It All, host Aaron Crow pulls back the curtain on one of cybersecurity’s most underestimated frontiers - Open Source Intelligence. He reveals how attackers leverage publicly available data from LinkedIn profiles to leak passwords, mapping out targets, infiltrating systems, and exploiting the human attack surface.

Drawing from real-world incidents and years of experience across IT and OT security, Aaron explains:

  • How Open Source Intelligence fuels social engineering and insider threat campaigns.
  • Why protecting systems isn’t enough - you must protect people.
  • How to use Open Source Intelligence proactively for threat modeling and risk mitigation.
  • Steps to monitor your digital footprint and reduce exposure before it’s too late.

  • Whether you’re a cybersecurity professional, executive, or simply digital-curious, this episode will change how you think about “public information.”

    Tune in to learn how Open Source Intelligence can both expose and empower your cybersecurity strategy - only on Protect It All.
