Threats Don’t Wait and Neither Should You
Access the student and faculty social media ecosystem of information sharing leveraging 1M+ data sources to stay ahead of campus threats.
With the constant distribution of digital messaging around campus, real threats don’t announce themselves politely. They surface in cryptic posts, obscure forums, or fleeting mentions that disappear before anyone notices. With traditional monitoring procedures, it’s often too late.
NEWCOM partners with Dataminr to turn small signals into actionable insights for campus safety.
By deploying Dataminr, security teams can filter through the noise of 1M+ data sources, including social media, public sensor data, the dark web, local news, web forums, and audio transmissions and fine tune exactly what Dataminr monitors. Teams can set customizable alerts that matter to your campus by geographical area to detect the earliest signs of risk. The ability to tap into this public digital environment empowers administrators, security, and IT teams to move quickly to protect people and infrastructure.
With College, University staff and students studying abroad and travelling the globe Dataminr can monitor areas that they will be travelling in to alert you as soon as possible of any global situations including weather related, geo political issues and any disruptions that would impact the safety and security of those travelers.
What are some advantages of AI-Powered Situational Awareness?
- Identify dangerous gatherings forming off or on campus
- Catch cyber risks targeting student data before breaches occur
- Track local news or sensor data that signals emergencies faster than official alerts
- Clarify misinformation that can cause panic or confusion
- Respond to severe weather warnings in time to get students to safety
- Report transportation disruptions that affect campus operations or events
