ENTERPRISE RISK ANALYTICS — WHAT IS IT AND HOW IT CAN HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE BIGGEST THREATS TO YOUR BUSINESS
At PlanetRisk, much of our time is spent talking to clients about what keeps them up at night, what they need in order to keep the boss/brass happy, and how we can play a role in their success. A consistent theme during these discussions is the desire for early warning and avoidance of surprise.
Nobody likes being caught off guard, but for security practitioners, the stakes are particularly high. Surprises could mean the loss of life, operability, revenue, reputation, or the precious time necessary to effectively respond to any of the above.
Our 24/7 Global Intelligence Operations Center, GIOC, is a team of eyes and ears PlanetRisk clients can depend on to alert them to disasters as soon as they strike — as well as when and where they have the potential to strike. We provide both real-time threat information and predictive intelligence specific to each client organization based on historical location data and dynamic, user-generated content like social media.
Informed by years of working on security challenges facing government and industry clients, we have designed and integrated a suite of tools focused on delivering situational awareness ready to address risks across the enterprise. This cuts down on costs, improves inter-organizational communication, coordination, and bolsters our clients’ overall resilience against future threats.
Your organization faces threats every day and they are coming at an alarming rate. The challenge is figuring out how to protect your physical assets, offices, products and people when attacks are coming domestically and globally. PlanetRisk’s cloud-based software solution integrates and overlays multiple data sources and product features to provide immediate insight into threats specific to each client’s organization and assets. Whether natural or man-made — PlanetRisk’s enterprise risk analytics platform, GRX, provides the timely, actionable intelligence needed in a crisis.
The GIOC helps organizations from all industries protect the safety of their employees around the globe. And our insider threat detection solution maps and monitors employees’ digital footprints to detect potential violence or fraud, waste, and abuse of corporate assets. Social network analysis tools reveal the presence and nature of relationships between subjects of interest and enable analysts to identify influencers in those networks. Risk analysis and real-time reporting help provide context around data patterns, predict outcomes, and protect against threats.
Utilities
For our utility clients, we track events that could impact the electric grid, including natural hazards, suspicious activity near power stations, cyber threats, and criminal conduct like copper theft. We monitor potential risks to the water supply like train derailments, water borne viruses and chemical spills. PlanetRisk analysts observe incidents near oil and gas pipelines and track ships in transit. We monitor executive travel and the locations of offsite business teams. In fact, one of our recent alerts about a car driving into a substation was disseminated in time to prevent an explosion from occurring.
Retail
PlanetRisk’s retail clients rely on our risk analytics when deploying their security teams. Up-to-date intelligence solves resource allocation problems quickly and cost effectively. We provide clients with one system to run background checks for future hires, to replace the costly and time-consuming multiple vendors and systems of the past. Enterprise risk analytics even helps these retailers select store locations based on security incident trends.
Crystal balls notwithstanding, security managers never get to relax; each day without an incident is a success. But we think our intelligence solutions can be a secret weapon and help them shine.
