Leidos Becomes Gold Level Sponsor

The OSINT Foundation is pleased to announce that Leidos has partnered with us as a Gold Level Sponsor. The OSINT Foundation is the professional association for OSINT practitioners who support the U.S. Intelligence Community. Corporate sponsors support the mission of the Foundation, which is to promote OSINT tradecraft, elevate the discipline, and develop the practitioner community to advance the national security of the United States. Our sponsors enable the Foundation to provide opportunities for OSINT practitioners to grow through forums, continuing education, promulgating OSINT best practices, developing professional certification standards, and recognizing performance excellence.

Leidos leads advancements in technology, defense, healthcare, and mission solutions to address the world’s most critical national security challenges. For more than two decades, Leidos has helped National Security customers meet open-source mission needs, empowering those on the front lines and enhancing analysis across the Intelligence Community and Defense Intelligence Enterprise.  “We at Leidos take great pride in the depth and breadth of our support to OSINT missions over the last 20+ years with expertise across data collection, exploitation, reporting, analysis, policy development and training,” said Lisette R. Bergeron, vice president of intelligence production solutions at Leidos. “OSINT plays a vital role in national security, and we are honored to join the OSINT Foundation as a corporate sponsor to further the maturation, professionalization, and innovation of the OSINT discipline.”

Barbara Alexander, president of the OSINT Foundation remarked, “Leidos has been bringing capabilities and insights to the defense, intelligence, homeland, and other sectors for many decades, and we welcome the company to this new partnership with the Foundation. Its work to apply artificial intelligence and machine learning of publicly available information to large-scale data exploitation helps advance methods for deriving insights from complex threats. These efforts contribute to ongoing discussions on technology integration and tradecraft development across the OSINT practitioner community, and we look forward to working with its team in the year ahead.”
