Facebook & Instagram Investigations
October 22, 2026 9:00AM CST- 11:00AM CST
Duration: 2 Hours
Format: Live Webinar
Course Overview
As the primary platforms under the Meta umbrella, Facebook and Instagram remain the most critical open-source intelligence (OSINT) environments for modern investigators. However, changing privacy settings, shifting algorithms, and the deprecation of legacy search tools require practitioners to continuously adapt their methodologies.
This intensive 2-hour webinar equips investigators, analysts, and law enforcement professionals with the latest techniques to legally and ethically extract actionable intelligence from Facebook and Instagram. Participants will learn how to locate suspect accounts, identify the user behind the accounts, uncover hidden connections, navigate operational security (OPSEC) challenges, and properly preserve digital evidence for civil or criminal proceedings.
Target Audience
- Law Enforcement & Intelligence Analysts: Seeking to locate & identify suspects, establish timelines, or map criminal networks.
- Corporate Security & Fraud Investigators: Conducting due diligence, insider threat assessments, or brand protection investigations.
Prerequisites
No advanced technical programming skills are required, but attendees should possess a basic understanding of general OSINT concepts and be comfortable navigating social media platforms.
