In a recent GovCon Wire feature, Penlink’s Kellen Schollaert offers expert insights on the transformative power of AI in open-source intelligence (OSINT) operations. As organizations across government, defense, and the private sector face increasingly complex threats, the integration of AI into intelligence processes is becoming crucial. Schollaert discusses how AI-driven tools are reshaping the way analysts collect, analyze, and act on publicly available data, enabling them to extract actionable intelligence more efficiently.
One of the key challenges today, according to Schollaert, is the overwhelming volume of data available from diverse sources. This influx of information, while rich with potential insights, can be paralyzing if approached manually. AI technologies, particularly generative AI, address this issue by automating the collection and analysis of data, allowing analysts to focus on strategic decision-making instead of being bogged down by routine data gathering.
Schollaert highlights Penlink’s approach to leveraging AI in their solutions, emphasizing the importance of streamlining workflows for intelligence professionals. By using AI to automate repetitive tasks, Penlink’s tools allow users to efficiently turn complex data into coherent, actionable insights. This shift not only accelerates the speed of investigations but also minimizes the risk of human error, leading to more accurate results in high-stakes scenarios.
One of the most significant benefits of AI in OSINT is its ability to continuously learn and improve over time. As Schollaert explains, AI systems can recognize patterns, identify anomalies, and even predict potential threats in real-time, providing analysts with a proactive edge. This capability is especially valuable in fields like national security, where timely intelligence can make a critical difference.
Beyond operational efficiency, Schollaert also touches on the ethical considerations of using AI in intelligence. As AI tools become more integrated into investigative processes, maintaining transparency and safeguarding privacy rights is essential. Schollaert stresses the need for robust governance frameworks to ensure that AI technologies are used responsibly, especially when applied in sensitive investigations involving personal data.
The full GovCon Wire article provides a deeper look into how AI-powered OSINT is revolutionizing the way agencies and organizations tackle intelligence challenges. Schollaert’s expertise sheds light on the potential for AI to transform not just how analysts work, but also how organizations can stay ahead of evolving threats in an increasingly digital world.

Traditional security tools are built to stop external attackers. Insider threat detection requires a different approach entirely, one that surfaces signals in the places most teams aren’t looking.
Drug trafficking organizations increasingly exploit the scale and opacity of global maritime commerce to move narcotics across borders. OSINT and publicly available data are now essential tools for analysts working to expose those networks.
Penlink launches CoAnalyst360, a multi-agent AI platform that transforms investigative questions into coordinated workflows, synthesizes findings, and generates dynamic reports that evolve with an investigation.
When agencies adopt new technology, security compliance isn’t a checkbox. This post breaks down what SOC2 compliance actually means, what it covers, and why it should be part of every procurement conversation.
Call detail records, tower dumps, and RTT data are among the most reliable evidence types in complex investigations. This post explains what each record type contains and what it can reveal when analyzed together.
Law enforcement and security teams face growing pressure at high-profile events. This webinar covers how OSINT supports pre-event planning, real-time awareness, and post-event investigations.
