Early-Warning Threat Detection—Before Risk Becomes Reality

Distinguishing a genuine threat requires an analysis of multiple factors. Our intelligence team begins by assessing the credibility of the source, for example, whether the individual has a history of violence or an established pattern of behavior. We then evaluate the specificity of the threat, such as mentions of particular targets, dates, or methods. Next, we consider capability, looking at whether the actor has the means, motive, and opportunity to act. Finally, we monitor for persistence to see if threats have continued over time. By analyzing these elements together, our team determines whether a threat is actionable and assigns an appropriate risk level. 

Our process is designed to deliver rapid analysis and immediate notification of potential threats. By reducing notification time, we’re able to drastically improve your organization’s ability to prepare, respond, and recover from threats.
