Threat Intelligence Platform & OSINT Tool

Securing events and venues from harm and threat actors is of utmost importance to ensure the safety and well-being of attendees, staff, and the general public. Events and venues often attract large crowds, making them potential targets for various threats such as terrorism, violence, theft, and other criminal activities. 

Through threat intelligence integration including geospatial analysis, social media monitoring and analysis, and custom alerts and notifications, organizers can mitigate risks and respond effectively in case of emergencies. 

In ASIS International’s Event & Venue Security Solutions session, LifeRaft will highlight how Navigator is uniquely designed to empower security teams and analysts in safeguarding events and venues from potential threat actors, and harm of all kinds. 

Proactive security measures not only protect individuals and property but also help maintain the reputation and credibility of the event or venue.
