USE CASE
Use Case: From Early Warning to Duty of Care
8 Jul 2026

Responding to Travel Disruptions Before They Impact Your People
A multinational organization's Global Security Operations Center (GSOC) receives a Dataminr alert indicating the sudden closure of a major regional airport due to escalating geopolitical tensions. The alert arrives before official travel advisories and widespread media coverage, providing valuable lead time.
Several employees are scheduled to transit through the airport later that day, while others are already traveling in the region. Security leaders must quickly determine whether any travelers are affected—and what actions should be taken before disruptions escalate.
THE CHALLENGE
Early warning is valuable, but understanding its impact is often difficult.
Security teams must rapidly answer critical questions:
- Which travelers are scheduled to arrive, depart, or transit through the affected airport?
- Are any employees currently traveling in the affected region?
- Who needs to be informed?
- Does anyone require immediate assistance or need alternative travel arrangements?
- Could onward travel plans be disrupted?
- What actions should be prioritized?
Information is often spread across multiple systems, requiring teams to manually gather traveler data while the situation continues to evolve.
The organization has visibility into the event—but not yet a clear understanding of its impact on traveling employees.
CRISIS24 + DATAMINR IN ACTION
By integrating Dataminr alerts into Crisis24 Horizon, organizations can move from early warning to real-time traveler awareness.
Within minutes, Horizon enriches the alert with traveler itineraries and organizational context, helping security teams quickly identify who may be affected, prioritize response actions, and provide timely support.
01 DETECT EMERGING THREATS EARLY
Dataminr identifies developing events in real time, providing early visibility before traditional reporting or official travel advisories are available.
02 UNDERSTAND TRAVELER IMPACT
Within Horizon, the alert is automatically enriched with relevant traveler information, including employee itineraries, locations, and planned movements. Teams gain immediate visibility into which employees may be affected and how travel plans could be disrupted.
03 TAKE COORDINATED ACTION
Security teams can quickly prioritize response efforts, communicate with affected travelers, provide guidance, and coordinate support through a centralized workflow. As the situation evolves, teams maintain visibility into actions, decisions, and communications—ensuring a coordinated response from initial detection through resolution.
04 FULFILL DUTY OF CARE RESPONSIBILITIES
As the situation evolves, Horizon helps security and travel risk teams identify which travelers may be affected, assess the business impact, and coordinate appropriate support. By translating intelligence into traveler exposure and clear situational awareness, it enables faster decisions, more effective assistance, and greater confidence that employees are supported throughout their journey
