Platforms like Flashpoint PSI proactively collect and analyze millions of data points across the surface, deep, and dark web to provide near real-time alerts about external threats near specific location boundaries.
What are the different types of physical security?
Physical security is often broken down into the “5 D’s”, which stands for
Deter, Detect, Deny, Delay, and Defend. In today’s world, threat intelligence is a crucial part of a multi-layered defense system.

As the world becomes increasingly digitized, physical security and cybersecurity become more and more intertwined, with physical breaches frequently serving as the gateway to massive digital compromises. Key threats include tailgating, device theft, malicious hardware insertion (like USBs), and social engineering.
How does PSI connect online chatter to a physical location or event?
Echosec, the primary technology behind PSI, uses geospatial data to map posts that contain explicit geotags or location metadata, and allows analysts to create digital perimeters around areas of interest to capture the chatter associated with those locations.
