What is Cyber HUMINT?
Cyber HUMINT™ (Human Intelligence) refers to the strategic elicitation and collection of information from individuals in online environments—whether through covert or overt engagement. As threat actors increasingly hide behind digital personas, Modus Cyberandi’s Cyber HUMINT™ training equips professionals to ethically and effectively approach, assess, and elucidate critical information from both sources and adversaries.
