In a world where images can be manipulated, eyewitnesses dismissed, and official accounts contradicted by what happened on the ground, proving what is real has never been more important.
In this episode, Robby speaks with Vladimir Zaha, a threat intelligence researcher and volunteer contributor to the Bellingcat community, about the growing role of open-source intelligence in journalism, cybersecurity, conflict monitoring, and democratic accountability.
Vladimir explains how OSINT investigators verify images and videos, geolocate events using seemingly insignificant details, monitor activity in active conflicts, and challenge false or misleading official narratives. He also discusses his work documenting civilian harm in Ukraine, investigating the actions of enforcement agencies in the United States, and helping analyse information that may eventually support legal proceedings.
The conversation explores how OSINT can help cybersecurity professionals understand their threat environment, how artificial intelligence is changing the investigative process, and why human verification remains essential even as collection and analysis become increasingly automated.
