Dataminr

““Having real-time information from Dataminr is like having eyes on the ground without being there,” said Frayne. “Dataminr proved its worth a hundred times over because I had no other information.””

““It was like night and day [after using First Alert],” said Frayne. “It took me a long time to get my head around the power of the information I have at my fingertips.””

“If we had not had First Alert when the phone started to ring and the texts came in from the Governor and Commissioner’s offices, we would have been a day late and a dollar short,”

“The jump we got on the situation strictly because of First Alert is irreplaceable. Waiting for that information would have meant 30-60 minutes without someone on site representing the State DOT.”

““It’s peace of mind knowing that we are covered worldwide for any story that may not have been picked up by people we follow on social media or on news wires,” Parker said.”

““We’ve seen pictures and videos that just wouldn’t be there—just wouldn’t exist—if it wasn’t for user-generated videos and user-generated pictures that allow us into those areas,” Parker said.”

““[We think of] Dataminr as sort of a safety net,” Parker said. “We know that if there’s a big story happening and we haven’t seen it, we will see it from Dataminr in some form. And if I don’t see it on my Dataminr [dashboard], we know somebody else in the newsroom on Dataminr will.””

““We didn’t see it first on the AFP news wire, we saw it first on Dataminr,” said Digital News Editor Adam Parker. “And we didn’t just see it first [on Dataminr], we saw it with some incredible imagery.””

““We use Dataminr to predict [risk] where we can, and make sure that whatever we are sharing with our journalists is the best information at that time,””

““Dataminr helps inform my risk assessment by enabling me to look at the travel routes we’re using and the types and impact of past incidents in that area to study previous trends,””

““It’s very hard to have 15 browser tabs open to monitor risks when there are constant, relentless [geopolitical] conflicts. Dataminr allows us to provide key stakeholders with information as it changes in real time at scale. It gives us the clarity about where to go and where to look [for risks].””

““I wanted a single pane-of-glass that lets me pull all the metrics not only from an alerting standpoint, but also allows me to do trend analysis and share credible and actionable information with our team,””

“Dataminr is really good at providing this information to us, letting us have a real-time perspective and helping us with our operations.”

“We want to make sure that we’re able to identify potential risks and safety concerns, and address them before they happen. Dataminr is a huge plus for us because it helps us be proactive, not reactive.”

“Our partnership with Dataminr is extremely important for us in terms of our security planning,”

“Dataminr provides real-time insights on risks not only at our large events, but also right down to a theater-level play that’s happening in one of our venues,”

“That’s the kind of real-time information that Dataminr provides.”

“This showed how Dataminr is an absolute gem in regards to identifying things before they happen.”

“There’s a lot of noise out there. Dataminr lets us really dial into the things that are important to us in our venues, and that helps us in our security planning,”

““We have an operation specialist [at HP] that monitors where all of our C-suite members are going, and we get catered [Dataminr] alerts based on their travel itineraries,””

““Dataminr is indispensable for us on mobile, where it delivers hyperlocal alerts to us. When an executive is on the road, we need to see what’s going on around them,””

““In time of sanctions, the risk of cyber attacks is increasing. That’s why it’s important for us to keep an eye on social channels so that we can take preventative action,” said Krueger.”

““Our Physical Security team is always in dialogue with our stakeholders. If, for example, a location is selected for an event, we advise our events team whether the location has recently been exposed to threats and if it is necessary to relocate the event,” said Krueger.”

““What we want to establish is a one-stop shop for intelligence. We aim to have a core team, which can pull in the information and provide all the different stakeholders with actionable intelligence.””

““What is good about Dataminr is that we can transform a small team into an intelligence powerhouse,” said Krueger.”
