Challenge.
The bank’s security team needed better visibility into physical threats such as crime, extreme weather, fires, and other disruptive events impacting its locations. They also required improved awareness of targeted threats to executives and potential exposure identified through open-source intelligence.
With thousands of employees and sites distributed across multiple regions, the team needed a holistic view of the physical threat landscape and a reliable way to alert stakeholders quickly. Existing processes lacked a centralized intelligence capability, making it difficult to curate, assess, and disseminate relevant physical threat intelligence at speed.
Solution.
Silobreaker provided a single platform to support the full intelligence lifecycle, enabling the team to map and meet complex priority intelligence requirements within one workflow.
The platform aggregates intelligence from millions of open and dark web sources, alongside premium security-focused content. Analysts can search across travel advisories, forecasts, expert analysis, and local reporting in one place, gaining context and relevance without switching tools.
Custom dashboards and real-time alerts allow the team to track threats by location, asset, and risk type. Coverage of local and regional sources helps teams identify exposure related to travel or public appearances, supporting more informed security planning. Intelligence outputs can be distributed through automated alerts or tailored reports aligned to existing templates and branding, ensuring consistent communication across the organization.
Outcome.
With Silobreaker, the bank’s security team has improved its ability to anticipate and manage physical risk:
- Customized dashboards support protection of branch locations and critical assets
- Faster identification of emerging threats through clear visualization and alerting
- Improved tracking of local and regional sources across multiple geographies
- Stronger understanding of relationships between threats, people, and assets to support timely reporting to stakeholders
By centralizing physical threat intelligence and reducing manual effort, the team delivers clearer insight that supports proactive risk management and operational resilience.
