Ritu Gill is an Intelligence Analyst with 15 years of experience supporting Canadian law enforcement, including 12 years with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). During her tenure with the RCMP, she was entrusted with training investigators both in Canada and internationally—traveling to Bangladesh and India to teach law enforcement officers how to leverage the internet as an investigative tool. After completing a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminology at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Ritu developed a strong interest in analytical and research-driven work, which has shaped her career ever since.

She is also the founder of Forensics OSINT, one of the leading tools for the forensic archiving of web pages and online content.

Ritu’s presentation introduces participants to the fundamentals of internet evidence collection and digital forensics for web-based investigations, integrating OSINT and forensic methodologies for a comprehensive investigative approach. 

Attendees will learn the importance of the digital forensic process and will be shown how to systematically acquire, preserve, and analyze online evidence from websites and social media, via Forensics Osint App.

Jan Suhr is the founder and CEO of Nitrokey, a Berlin-based company established in 2015 that specializes in open source development of computer security hardware. Under his leadership, the company has developed secure technical infrastructure for protecting IT products and sensitive data. His company provides hardware security modules and innovative software stacks with verified microkernel and unikernel package systems, all built on open source principles.

Stealth and Security: Advanced OPSEC for OSINT Professionals focuses on the operational-security requirements of investigators working in high-risk environments. Jan will demonstrate how to build hardened communication workflows and deploy hardware and software configurations capable of withstanding state-level threat models.

By the end of the session, participants will understand how to design a complete OPSEC stack by integrating multiple tools into a secure, anonymous and resilient investigative ecosystem—one that matches the realities of modern digital threat landscapes while preserving both investigative efficacy and non-traceability.

This presentation showcases advanced methodologies via Maltego Person of Interest Transform Set for high-speed global person identification, drawing on the latest developments in data fusion, OSINT automation, and cross-platform analysis. Attendees will explore how to efficiently triangulate identity information using open databases, social media footprints, leaked datasets, and public records across multiple jurisdictions. The session emphasizes how automation and intelligent query design can dramatically reduce time spent on manual searches while increasing accuracy and depth of results.

Katherine de Tolly is an open source (OSINT) researcher and data wrangler at Bellingcat, an award-winning collective of investigators advancing justice and transparency. She specialises in scouring the Web to use an entity’s digital footprint to connect the dots and bring to light issues of exploitation and corruption. She has contributed to high-impact investigations and developed resources for the OSINT community as part of Bellingcat’s Financial Investigations team.

This presentation explores the use of sanctions databases in investigations, offering a practical guide for using these resources to uncover financial crime, corruption, and illicit networks. Attendees will learn how to access and cross-reference data from key global sanctions lists—such as those maintained by OFAC, the EU, UN, and national authorities—and how to use that data to trace connections between sanctioned individuals, entities, and affiliated networks.

The session will introduce practical techniques for analyzing complex networks involving politically exposed persons (PEPs), front companies, and intermediaries . Participants will also examine red flags and compliance risk indicators that can help identify hidden links between seemingly legitimate business structures and high-risk individuals. Through case studies, the presentation demonstrates how sanctions data, when combined with OSINT and financial intelligence, can support investigations into money laundering, and violations of international law.

Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) has become a decisive force in the Ukrainian warfare landscape, transforming publicly available data into real-time strategic advantage. From geolocating troop movements through social media and satellite imagery to tracking disinformation networks and equipment losses, OSINT has enabled rapid situational awareness for both military and civilian analysts. In Ukraine, OSINT bridges the gap between civilians, journalists, and defense actors, accelerating the intelligence cycle, increasing battlefield transparency, and redefining how modern conflicts are observed, documented, and influenced.
