David James-Roll on strengthening business resilience using real-time data

The world of physical security has radically changed. Security leaders and their teams must not only deal with new challenges but also make rapid decisions that can save lives, property and reputation. David James-Roll of Dataminr* shows how real-time data can help enterprises navigate the modern risk landscape.

In an increasingly connected world, modern enterprises struggle with many unknowns that directly impact employees, infrastructure and business continuity. While you can’t always control threats, you can at least make a difference by understanding them.

Throughout this informative episode, David James-Roll demonstrates how real-time data can be gathered from public data sources, made sense of, and applied to make quick, life-saving decisions. New kinds of threats may blur the line between physical and cyber security, but sophisticated algorithms can unearth insights and patterns to tackle risks and transform security operations. Are you ready to build a more secure and resilient enterprise? Listen to the full episode now.

How do you identify risk in the first place? You’ve got to get out there, however that may look, and find out what’s going on. If you’ve got a finite resource of people, how do you know that you are looking in the right place? . . . This is where technology is the way to go.
