Early Warning Signals: The Strategic Value of Open-Source Risk Intelligence
In today's volatile geopolitical landscape, the U.S. defense sector relies on thousands of Tier 2 and Tier 3 subcontractors for everything from missile systems to advanced AI chips. Yet, most traditional procurement and threat-monitoring tools fail to detect early signals of instability in these vendors, especially when the signals originate from foreign media, regulatory notices, or obscure disruptions buried in unstructured content.
Join us to explore how Semantic Visions' AI-powered OSINT platform enables U.S. defense, intelligence and public sector stakeholders to identify operational threats in advance. We'll demonstrate how to monitor entities like Nvidia's global supply chain (TSMC, SK Hynix, ASML), rare earth chokepoints (China, Congo, Chile) and vendors supporting mission-critical systems like the F-35, HIMARS and PAC-3.
During this webinar, attendees will:
- Learn how to operationalize entity tagging across five key dimensions: vendors, events, geopolitics, compliance keywords and procurement programs
- Understand how to surface mission-interruptive signals before delays, sanctions, or reputational fallout occur
- Explore real-world examples such as factory fires, Chinese export bans and illegal labor protests
- Discover how early signals can be captured, structured and flagged as compliance-threat, contract-risk and readiness gap triggers
This session is a must-attend for acquisition officers, threat analysts and national security professionals seeking to shift from reactive monitoring to proactive intelligence, using the power of curated narrative AI.
