Threatwhere Operator
Read full descriptionHide full description
Threatwhere Operator is the field companion to the Threatwhere intelligence platform — built for security teams, operators, and the people they protect in high-risk environments. Operator is an enterprise application. Access requires an operator license issued by your organization's Threatwhere administrator. There is no public sign-up. INTELLIGENCE, WHEREVER YOU ARE • Feeds — real-time threat events, incidents, and country risk across 250 countries and territories, distilled from millions of global signals. • Tracked entities — keep a personal watchlist of the threats that matter to your mission and stay alerted as they develop. OPERATIONAL AWARENESS • Trips — structured mission briefings assigned by your operations team: itinerary, risk assessment, check-in schedule, cultural and legal guidance, key phrases, and emergency contacts for where you are going. • Check-ins — confirm your status on a schedule, with location and optional notes or a photo, so your operations team always knows you are safe. • Messages — secure, real-time communication with your organization's monitoring team. WHEN SECONDS COUNT • SOS — one tap raises an emergency alert to your organization's monitoring team, captures your location and photo and audio evidence, and keeps streaming your position. It is engineered to get through regardless of network, device state, or duress, and to keep retrying until it does. • Safety boundaries — geofenced movement detection that keeps watch even when the app is closed. BUILT FOR THE FIELD SOS, location, and check-ins are offline-resilient: when connectivity drops they queue and deliver the moment you reconnect. Threatwhere Operator uses background location to send your position to your organization's monitoring team during an SOS and to power geofenced safety-boundary detection. This continues when the app is in the background or the device is locked. Your organization controls provisioning, access, and your data. Operator is included with every Threatwhere Overwatch seat and is also available as a managed Operator seat. It is not a standalone consumer app.
