Threat Assessment

Equip your team with critical Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) to conduct comprehensive risk assessments. Leverage AI summaries and sentiment analysis to report on high-risk conversations and activity.

Event and Location Monitoring

Observe evolving situations with immediate data from sources from the mainstream to the underground. Use geospatial filtering and integrated AI to rapidly surface the most relevant chatter and context needed to inform operational safety and decisive action plans.

The Intelligence Difference:
Flashpoint vs. The Status Quo

Status Quo

❌ Information is scattered across dozens of global networks (social media, apps, illicit forums), making it impossible to capture critical intelligence.

❌ Practitioners spend hours manually searching networks, translating foreign language posts, and sifting through irrelevant data, leading to delayed insights.

❌ You know something is happening, but you lack the geographic data to understand its proximity to your assets or executives.

❌ Teams struggle to keep up with the volume of threats, losing the bandwidth to conduct deep analysis or produce reliable threat assessments.

❌ Without proactive monitoring and real-time alerts, teams are forced into a reactive cycle, managing incidents after they impact personnel or assets.

✅ Gain a single point of access to an extensive range of global open-source data, eliminating blind spots and information gaps.

✅ Integrated AI summarizes discussions, provides search recommendations, and translates over 100 languages, condensing hours of manual research into seconds.

✅ Define, search, and monitor custom geographic boundaries, delivering real-time, context-rich data to validate and prioritize threats where your assets or executives are located.

✅ Intuitive functionality, analyst support, and ready access to expert Finished Intelligence serves as a force multiplier, freeing your team for high-impact tasks.

✅ Near real-time data and granular, highly customizable alerts ensure you are aware of threats as they unfold, enabling timely, decisive action based on an extensive range of data sources.
