Section III
Framework for
Internet Searching
The philosophy of open-source intelligence in a world of information
dominated by the Internet depends on a foundation and framework
designed to address the strategic and ethical issues that confront all
organizations. While an enterprise may expect that every insider using
the Internet will abide by the law, regulations, and enterprise policies,
it is unwise to expect that there will be no major problems or misuse.
This and subsequent chapters provide a structure by which an organi-
zation can exploit Internet information according to generally accepted
understandings of risks, benets, and the needs of individuals and
their employers.
