Shadow Nexus Becomes Bronze Level Sponsor

The OSINT Foundation is pleased to announce that Shadow Nexus has partnered with us as a Bronze 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.

Shadow Nexus is an independent dark web data provider specializing on providing intelligence community organizations with direct access to hacked, breached, and leaked (HBL) data. “OSINT is no longer a niche discipline—it’s a core pillar of modern intelligence. I’m excited to support the OSINT Foundation’s mission and help push the practice forward, not just in theory but in real-world application across the intelligence community. Building stronger standards, deeper collaboration, and more actionable outcomes is critical, and I’m eager to be part of that effort.”-Vinny Troia, Ph.D., CEO of Shadow Nexus.

Barbara Alexander, president of the OSINT Foundation, noted, “The OSINT Foundation welcomes Shadow Nexus as a new Bronze Level sponsor. Its focus on publicly available information from the dark web supports OSINT practitioners as they address national security issues in complex and evolving information environments. As intelligence and national security communities continue to examine how difficult-to-access publicly available information informs understanding of emerging threats, we look forward to engaging with the company and to the perspectives it brings to the practitioner community. We thank Shadow Nexus for its support of the Foundation and its mission, and look forward to its participation in our discussions and events.”
