Organizations leverage geopolitical
intelligence and contextualized reporting to improve their
situational awareness and mitigate their risk
Today, Intel 471, the premier provider of cyber
intelligence-driven solutions worldwide, is introducing
Geopolitical Intelligence, a new offering that empowers business
and security leaders with concise and insightful analyses, risk
assessments and forecasts of emerging situations in countries
around the world, including China, Iran and Russia. The
geopolitical threat landscape is evolving rapidly, and
organizations need the intelligence to proactively respond and
mitigate these high-level strategic threats.
“Our Geopolitical Intelligence gives organizations the most
accurate information by cutting through the deluge of data to
provide an accurate assessment of potential risks,” said Michael
DeBolt, Chief Intelligence Officer at Intel 471. “Over the last
decade, Intel 471 has observed and identified connections between
geopolitical actors and the cyber threat landscape by focusing on
policy, regime and technology changes, as well as significant
regional events such as elections. We listened to our customers’
requirements, which has led us to the development of our
Geopolitical Intelligence offering. With this intelligence,
organizations can improve their situational awareness, risk
management and third-party risk management use cases. In addition,
they can better assess the risk and impact of these
geopolitical-driven threats, predict future threat scenarios and
provide the right tools to proactively protect against
attacks.”
Organizations need to stay abreast of foreign affairs and
geopolitics to protect their business operations. Intel 471
Geopolitical Intelligence provides them with a unique lens to view
cyber threats and mitigate the risk. Unlike other vendors'
geopolitical reporting offerings that often rely heavily upon
reprinted content or content curated by other parties, Intel 471’s
regional geopolitical intelligence experts analyze locally sourced
information and share their insights in real-time with customers
about geopolitics, foreign affairs and related cyber threats. This
threat-focused offering lowers the ‘noise’ and enables real issues
to surface for proactive response against higher-level strategic
threats.
The Intel 471 Geopolitical Intelligence offering provides
accurate, localized information in real-time across five discrete
report types. Customers receive daily, weekly, bi-weekly and
quarterly updates which ensure they have the most up-to-date and
accurate information as well as a full analysis of trending
geopolitical events. Regional Intel 471 intelligence experts can
assess first-hand sources with their linguistic capabilities and
provide valuable context which results in early reviews of
adversary activity and likely tactics.
“Ongoing regional conflicts and cyberattacks on critical
infrastructure have made it essential for all sectors to undertake
geopolitical risk assessments,” industry analyst firm Forrester
says in its May 2024 report, Top Systemic Risks, 2024. “A
geopolitical risk assessment is a must-have, not a nice-to-have,”
writes Alla Valente and Cody Scott, senior analysts at Forrester.
“Every industry has potential impacts from political and
geopolitical fluctuations, and corporations must take them
seriously whether they come from locations where you have assets,
where your third parties have assets, what your brand represents,
or where and what you sell… It’s past time to be a student of
foreign policy impacts — take action to mitigate risks today."
Geopolitical Intelligence is the company’s newest offering, on
the heels of the launch of Intel 471’s attack surface protection
solution and its recent acquisition of Cyborg Security. To learn
