Case Study
A biotech company faced a potential threat to one of its Executives.
An alarming Tweet raised concerns about the Executive’s safety, but swift removal hindered efforts to gather crucial information, leaving the team with an incomplete profile of the individual involved.
The company was alerted by Liferaft and was able to retrieve an image of the original Tweet before its deletion. This enabled their team to obtain the full name of the threat actor, the content of the Tweet, and its timestamp. With the acquired information the team member used Liferaft’s identity resolution tool, People Search, and was able to assemble a basic profile of the individual, including factors such as age, location, and any previous mentions of their company on their social media accounts.
Through careful analysis, the company determined that the person of interest did not reside locally. However, it was discovered that the original post originated from a location in close proximity to where the Executive was currently residing.
Acting promptly, the team shared this crucial intelligence with both the Executive Protection team and the Physical Security team. The breadth of information allowed the team to make an informed decision as to whether or not to implement a heightened level of security.
The companys proactive approach and utilization of Liferaft’s capabilities, enabled them to assess the threat level and take the appropriate action to ensure the overall safety and security of the organization and Executives.
