Now we are introducing a new course where you will gain insight on how to do background checks with RelevantEOSINT methods.
A new Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is being scaled and three candidates are in play. Everyone has sent impressive resumes, buthow to ensure that their information matches reality? Participants in the course must use OSINT through practical tasks to verify the identity and background of the candidates.
Challenges:

- Another candidate must be tracked through his/her contact information to find theright person on social media
- The third candidate immediately does not exist at SoMe... or what?
Questions to be answered:
- Are the people who have given recommendations really former bosses or bare friends?
- Do the phone numbers from the resume match the official information?
- Through OSINT methods, identities and labor relations are verified.
