Hi, I’m Steve Adams
An internet investigation expert helping to prepare the next generation of intelligence professionals for success.
As a criminal intelligence analyst for the police, I helped decision-makers to make informed, data-driven decisions to reduce crime. Transitioning from law enforcement to the private sector, I became a skilled internet investigator and guided the shaped the use of OSINT within the business.
Today, I work for a market-leading OSINT technology company. I regularly lead OSINT training webinars and speak at conferences in the US and UK, where I discuss unlocking the power of intelligence analysis and OSINT.
