Using Navigator for Executive Protection

Imagine receiving alerts that top executives at your company have been threatened with violence. As an intelligence analyst, you must quickly identify the threat and act before it’s too late.

That’s precisely what happened to a global oil & gas company, whose intelligence team received alerts of online posts threatening to kill their CEO and another top executive.

By using Navigator, the team was able to quickly identify the threat actor’s Reddit account and connected social footprint. While using our investigative tools, they also discovered bomb threats and additional threats of violence towards members of the oil and gas industry.
