Data Protection Day 2025

CNPD conference on Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT)

Save the date! On 28 January 2025, the CNPD is organising a conference entitled "Comprendre les enjeux de l’Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) - Quand l’utilisation de sources d’information publiques rencontre la protection des données personnelles" to mark International Data Protection Day.

What is OSINT?

Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) involves collecting and analysing publicly available information from a variety of sources, including social networks, websites and public databases. This method, which is widely used in the fields of cybersecurity and investigations, makes it possible to anticipate threats and resolve incidents without resorting to intrusive means.

However, OSINT can pose challenges in terms of privacy protection. The ease of access to public personal data and its in-depth analysis can lead to breaches of individual confidentiality. Although the information is open and public, its aggregation and use can reveal sensitive details, raising ethical and legal issues. 

Date and venue

Tuesday, 28 January 2025 from 9:30am to 12:00pm at Belval 

More information on the venue and programme will follow shortly. You can register now by sending an email to evenements@cnpd.lu
