STRENGTHEN YOUR RISK PROFILE WITH CYBER GEOPOLITICAL ANALYSIS   

Business leaders need to be aware of geopolitical drivers of digital risk, and proactively address their potential outcomes. Multiple territorial conflicts, shifting regional alliances, and the convergence of geopolitics and cyber threats have created a far more challenging environment to assess digital risks to operations, supply chains, and workforces. 

Intel 471’s Cyber Geopolitical Intelligence helps leaders assess their digital and operational risks with a full spectrum view of current affairs that directly impact their cyber and business landscape. We combine human intelligence (HUMINT) with information from a variety of sources to deliver timely and relevant insights that help you accurately monitor and assess your business and digital risks. 

TAKE ACTION BASED ON FIRST-HAND SOURCE MATERIAL

Cyber Geopolitical Intelligence reporting and dashboards from Intel 471 arm your intelligence teams with insights about geopolitical tension points and state-backed cyber operations conducted in hostile regions, including China, Iran, Russia, and others. Our regional intelligence experts and linguistic analysts assess first-hand sources to contextualize adversary activities and tactics to help you assess outcomes, and take early action. 

We use hypothetical scenarios of real-world conflicts to create stress tests for risk management purposes and analyze how states and state-adjacent actors use espionage and information warfare to advance their strategic interests. Top-tier advanced persistent threat actors routinely use evasion detection and persistence techniques for long-term network access. Human-led behavioral threat hunting is often the only way to uncover these tactics. Our world class threat hunters write behavioral threat hunting packages to help your teams identify adversary techniques that evade automated detection.
