Flashpoint, the global leader in threat data and intelligence, today announced that the company will sponsor and participate in the Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) Conference at the Citadel. Flashpoint is the world’s largest private provider of threat intelligence in the industry with more than 750 customers across government, financial services, retail, healthcare, and technology sectors.

Flashpoint’s Executive Director for Global Security, Andrew Borene will participate in an expert panel focused on public-private partnerships titled, “ODNI OSINT Strategy and Vision for Expanding Partnerships.” The panel will take place on Thursday, October 24 at 9am ET, during which time Borene will be joined onstage by Jason Barrett of ODNI, Chris Thornlow of DIA, and Stephanie Dorsey of DHS.

Borene is a renowned expert in open source intelligence (OSINT) and threat intelligence, with stints as a senior official at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and as a group chief at the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC). He is a licensed United States attorney and a certified cybersecurity expert with more than 20 years of experience in counterterrorism, counterintelligence, national security, and advanced technology leadership in government and at Fortune 500 companies. A United States Marine Corps veteran, he also serves on the advisory board of the Special Operations Association of America (SOAA).

The conference takes place at a pivotal time as the world enters a new Cold War, marked by a convergence of geopolitical, cyber, and physical threats from an increasingly cohesive group of hostile state actors. State actors who are exploiting digital platforms not just for espionage or disruption, but to shape global narratives and project influence. This is not limited to military operations but extends into economic, social, and political realms. As these adversaries push their authoritarian agendas, the stakes for security teams worldwide have never been higher.

In the world of hybrid warfare, the best intelligence requires the best data. Flashpoint National Security Solutions (FNSS) helps government teams generate tailored intelligence to inform, operate, defend, and influence. By delivering industry-leading open-source intelligence (OSINT) solutions, investigations support, and finished intelligence, FNSS supports requirements across a wide range of national security and public safety missions.

The OSINT Conference at the Citadel will be hosted by the Citadel Department of Intelligence and Security Studies and the Department of Political Science’s Governor John C. West Chair.
