The Hurdles Of Proactive Threat Management

A recent crisis resiliency survey of over 200 executives at large global companies revealed that a top concern is their firm’s ability to proactively identify physical threats.

When looking at known and emerging threats, the impact of civil unrest and natural / weather-related disasters were most worrisome. The study also notes that today’s dynamic risk landscape is heavily influenced by globalization and the proliferation of data.

Almost half (45%) of executives stated that inadequate threat monitoring and detection hindered their security operations and cited key obstacles as having the right technology and appropriately trained / skilled staff.

It is easy to deduce that while executives understand the value early threat detection and trusted analysis, they struggle with operationalizing a sustainable solution that delivers threat intelligence across their global footprint.

Standing-up a 24/7 threat monitoring function requires a budget commitment from facilities, IT and management that is a daunting task for individual companies. And even after a bona fide threat is identified, the question soon becomes “Are we prepared to respond?”

Insite answers this question with our outsourced Global Security Operations Center (GSOC) model that includes multi-disciplinary support across our Investigations, Protection and Security Consulting divisions.

Our GSOC operates using sophisticated data collection technology that our highly-educated analysts use to monitor activist groups around the world and developing geopolitical and current events that occur in proximity to our clients’ assets.

If a physical security threat is detected, our analysts coordinate with our in-house experts across security disciplines to swiftly mitigate potential harm to our client’s organization and employees.
