The Need for Automated Risk Discovery
Prior to implementing Dataminr Pulse, the global bank's security operations center (SOC) relied on manual searches to identify potential risks, which was labor-intensive. After experiencing significant losses in physical assets due to high-risk events, the bank realized the necessity for an automated process. With Dataminr Pulse's real-time alerts, the SOC can now detect threats and disruptions as they emerge, providing a comprehensive view of risks at the global, regional, and local levels. The tailored alerts ensure that the SOC receives only the most relevant information, integrating seamlessly into their workflows and providing a significant sense of security.
Life-saving Real-time Information
During a series of explosions in Kampala, Uganda, Dataminr Pulse alerted the bank 30 minutes before major news coverage, enabling a swift and safe evacuation of nearby employees. The real-time alerts helped the security team ensure the safety of employees, track the progression of events, and mitigate risks effectively. By maintaining visibility on the ground and promptly responding to unfolding events, the bank could protect its personnel and assets, demonstrating the critical importance of real-time information in emergency situations.
Geovisualization for Faster Decision Making
With the implementation of Dataminr Pulse's geovisualization capabilities, the bank has significantly reduced its response time, streamlined asset location, and accelerated decision-making processes. The geovisualization tools have been particularly beneficial in preemptively addressing extreme weather conditions, allowing the SOC to track storm trajectories, assess potential risks, and safeguard employees and assets in real time. This technological advancement enables the bank to proactively identify threats, maintain situational awareness, and respond swiftly to emerging risks, enhancing overall operational efficiency and security.
