Open-Source Vetting for National Security: AI-Driven OSINT and Insider Threat Detection
In an era of escalating insider threats and state-sponsored tech espionage, U.S. national security agencies are turning to open-source intelligence (OSINT) and unclassified data to vet individuals and companies for hidden risks. Open-source vetting for national security leverages AI, machine learning, graph databases, and data fusion to connect the dots across public information, enhancing risk assessments and spotting insider threats before they wreak havoc. From cutting-edge AI tools that flag anomalies in a contractor’s background to graph-powered analytics exposing covert networks, these innovations are reshaping how the Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community (IC) safeguard America’s secrets. This in-depth analysis explores how open-source vetting works in practice—and why recent insider espionage cases in 2024 and 2025 underscore its urgency.

Understanding China’s Role in South America’s Lithium Supply Chain: Strategic Investments and Geopolitical Implications
China’s lithium investments in South America are transforming global resource competition and shifting geopolitical power dynamics. By securing control over vast lithium reserves in Argentina, Bolivia, and Chile, China is advancing its green energy ambitions while undermining Western supply chain dominance. This strategic expansion raises concerns over economic leverage, resource dependency, and the long-term implications of Beijing’s growing influence in Latin America. Understanding these investments is critical to navigating the evolving landscape of global energy and security.
