AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ontic, the
protective intelligence software innovator transforming how
companies actively identify, investigate, assess, watch and manage
physical security threats, today announced the expansion of its
Real-Time Threat Detection solution, giving corporate security
teams the ability to establish situational awareness and identify
potential threats to the business for a coordinated, proactive
response. As part of its launch, the company will integrate
location-specific weather data from AccuWeather and enhanced
interactive maps alongside the platforms' already existing data
sources including OSINT, real-time news, social media and dark web,
technology systems and human intelligence.
"Many solutions on the market today deliver signals from sources
like OSINT, social media, and the dark web as well as weather
forecasts and alerts that can result in an overflow of information
limiting the context needed when physical threats may be imminent,"
said Manish Mehta, chief product
officer, Ontic. "Our Real-Time Threat Detection solution is the
first to combine these signals, and complex critical information so
security teams can detect threats early, establish situational
awareness, track changing situations and proactively act on early
risk indicators to mitigate business disruptions and keep their
assets safe."
Purpose-built for security professionals, Ontic's Real-Time
Threat Detection offering connects the entire threat management
landscape and investigation process at Fortune 500 and emerging
enterprises, providing a comprehensive picture of the types of
threats an organization faces. Key features include:
- High-impact weather alerts and categorization connected to
workflows that can activate a coordinated response;
- Interactive and layered visualization of critical signals from
OSINT, social media, the dark web and news sources to cut through
the noise and surface what's important;
- Continuous gathering of real-time and historical data and
customizable alert configurations for active events and known risks
to assess threat relevance related to important people and
places.
"With climate change spurring increasing incidents of volatile
weather out of season and year-round, it is more important than
ever to accurately forecast and be aware of severe weather events
to maintain safety and prevent potentially life-threatening
situations," said AccuWeather Meteorologist and Senior Account
Executive Richard Schraeger.
"Integrating with Ontic takes our localized, timely weather data
and alerts to the next level when it comes to helping businesses
keep people and facilities safe."
Ontic's Real-Time Threat Detection offering will be available
for its clients during the first quarter of the year.
