Identify and Monitor Geopolitical Cyber Risk

Geopolitics increasingly influences state and nonstate digital threats. Multiple regional conflicts have driven a surge in cybercrime, disrupting operations at thousands of global organizations. The growing convergence of cybercrime, nation-state and geopolitical events also complicates the analysis of emerging threats, threat actor motivation and cyber incidents that shape the threat environment.

Cyber Geopolitical Intelligence from Intel 471 provides a unique lens to organizational leaders about shifting regional alliances, trade disputes, territorial conflicts and diplomatic crises that we believe will impact the cyber threat landscape. Customers are armed with reports enriched with analysis from our cyber threat intelligence and geopolitical intelligence experts about regional threat actor activity, evolving tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs), and an evaluation of risk from malicious campaigns, malware, and weaponized vulnerabilities impacting critical infrastructure.


Integrated cyber threat intelligence and geopolitical intelligence provides a comprehensive understanding of the evolving threat landscape, and helps government and organizational leaders make informed decisions about cybersecurity investments, policies and strategies.

"A geopolitical risk assessment is a must-have, not a nice-to-have. 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."
