Draft and present intelligence products—including tactical flash alerts, deep-dive strategic assessments, and threat horizon forecasts—tailored for security leadership and enterprise stakeholders.

Provide dedicated analytical support to the Resiliency Center’s 24/7 watch desk and incident management teams during emerging global crises or targeted threat escalations.
Partner cross-functionally with legal, human resources, cybersecurity, and regional security teams to deliver tailored intelligence support that enables safe, uninterrupted business operations.
