USE CASE
Use Case: From Early Warning to Operational Resilience
8 Jul 2026

Responding to Civil Unrest Before It Disrupts Your Business
At 8:00 a.m., a multinational organization's Global Security Operations Center (GSOC) receives a Dataminr alert indicating rapidly escalating protests in a major city where the organization has employees, travelers, and business operations.
The alert arrives before mainstream media coverage, providing valuable lead time.
As reports of road closures, transportation disruptions, and clashes with law enforcement emerge, security leaders must quickly determine whether the incident could affect their people, facilities, or operations—and what actions should be taken before disruption escalates.
THE CHALLENGE
Early warning is valuable, but understanding its impact is often difficult.
Security teams must rapidly answer critical questions:
- Which employees may be affected?
- Are any travelers in the disruption zone?
- Are facilities or business-critical locations exposed?
- Could operations be disrupted?
- Who needs to be informed?
- What actions should be prioritized?
Information is spread across multiple systems, requiring teams to manually gather data while the situation continues to evolve.
The organization has a signal—but not yet the operational intelligence needed to act decisively.
CRISIS24 + DATAMINR IN ACTION
By integrating Dataminr alerts into Crisis24 Horizon, organizations can move from early detection to real-time operational understanding.
Horizon instantly correlates the incident with employee locations, traveler itineraries, facilities, and business-critical assets to provide a live view of the organization’s exposure.
Security teams gain immediate visibility into what is affected, who may be at risk, and which actions should be prioritized—enabling faster, more informed decision-making.
01 Detecting emerging threats early
Dataminr detects the event in real time, giving the organization early visibility into the developing situation before traditional media or official reporting becomes available.
02 Understand Operational impact instantly
Within Crisis24 Horizon, the alert is automatically enriched with relevant operational context, including nearby employees, travelers, facilities, and business-critical locations. Teams gain a clear view of organizational exposure without having to manually gather information across multiple systems.
03 Take Coordinated Action
Security teams can quickly prioritize response efforts, communicate with affected personnel, 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 to resolution.
04 Connect Security Events to Business Impact
As the situation evolves, Horizon helps security leaders understand what a security event means for their people, operations, and business continuity. By translating intelligence into operational exposure and business impact, it enables faster decisions, more effective responses, and greater organizational resilience.
