Hey there — I'm glad you're here!
Welcome to OSINTSights! This all started because I was tired of juggling browser tabs, bookmarks, and sticky notes. I needed a better way to stay on top of security news. So I built this site to help myself — and others — stay informed, without the chaos.
What began as a side project quickly grew into something more. It's now a place to explore AI, test new ideas, and share useful insights with folks who care about security. It's also helped me understand AI better: what it can do, where it falls short, and how to make the most of it.
I'm Tim Lyons. I've spent most of my career in cybersecurity, infrastructure, and cloud. People say I'm driven — driven to deliver, to improve, and to help others grow. I've advised Fortune 500 companies, led international projects, and helped teams solve tough technical problems. I've also mentored junior professionals and stayed hands-on with the latest tech in fast-moving environments.
But truth be told, my proudest role is being “Dad.” I'm a single father to two amazing teens. That shapes how I work, lead, and connect with people. It keeps me grounded and reminds me why empathy and clarity matter.
So… What is OSINT?
OSINT stands for Open Source Intelligence. It's about taking public information — like news, social media, or public records — and turning it into insights. My goal? Make it easy to use, clear, and valuable.
OSINTSights is a fresh take on my earlier site, osint.geekcq.com. Think of this as version 2.0 — smarter tools, deeper analysis, and just enough AI to make a difference.
How It Works
Our AI-powered editorial pipeline monitors over a dozen leading security publications — including Krebs on Security, Schneier on Security, The Hacker News, BleepingComputer, CISA advisories, and more. Each story is analyzed, rewritten with contextual depth, and categorized across our intelligence taxonomy. Featured images are generated to accompany each report.
Every article attributes its source material and links back to the original reporting. We believe in amplifying great security journalism, not replacing it.
The platform runs on Cloudflare's global edge network with a custom AI pipeline on Hetzner infrastructure — built from scratch, no WordPress in sight. The entire stack is infrastructure-as-code, pipeline-driven, and security-first.
Tim's Take
