Ontic, software platform that gives corporate and government security teams one connected view of their entire security operation, and Control Risks, global strategic intelligence and security firm, today announced partnership that combines Ontic's Connected Intelligence Platform with Control Risks' global intelligence, analysis, security and crisis management expertise. Partnership transforms organizations' ability to connect intelligence with operational decision-making and response, enabling security teams to identify emerging and converging threats, assess implications, and take action more effectively.
Partnership will help organizations move faster from threat detection to informed action.
"Detection and execution have to move together — security teams can spot threat and still lose critical time if their tools are disconnected and their people are stretched thin," said Lukas Quanstrom, Co-Founder and CEO of Ontic. "Our partnership with Control Risks closes that gap, bringing technology that connects dots together with experts who understand full picture."
"Security leaders increasingly need more than access to information, they need ability to turn intelligence into informed decisions and operational action," said Bill Udell, CEO of Control Risks. "By combining Ontic's technology with Control Risks' global intelligence and security expertise, we're creating more connected operating model that helps clients understand emerging threats, determine what matters and respond with greater speed and confidence."
What partnership delivers: Always-on intelligence and security operations. Partnership brings together Ontic's Connected Intelligence Platform with Control Risks' global intelligence and security expertise to help clients align threat detection, assessment, and operational response across security program. By reducing manual handoffs and fragmented workflows, security teams can move more efficiently from identifying emerging issue to understanding significance and taking informed action.
Flexible access to global expertise and capacity. Clients can extend and enhance intelligence and operational capacity by bringing Control Risks analysts and specialists directly into Ontic environment, adding expertise and global resources without needing to significantly expand internal headcount.
Security programs designed around each organization's operating model. Rather than requiring clients to adapt program around technology, Control Risks and Ontic can help organizations align people, processes, intelligence and technology around specific operating model and risk environment.
Integrated Seerist intelligence. As part of partnership, Seerist's events feed is integrated into Ontic's Risk Intelligence product, enabling joint clients to access Seerist event data directly within Ontic and connect it with people, assets, incidents, and workflows.
"Technology surfaces risk; experienced practitioners decide what it means," said Mo Baloch, Director, Protective Services at American Airlines.
