What’s new
Location Protection allows Echosec users to upload their critical location-based assets, view them on an interactive map, and receive timely alerts when threats are detected nearby.
This capability is powered by 3 new features:
- Asset Manager: A central hub for adding, editing, and viewing location-based assets
- Asset Map Layer: An interactive way to view all location-based assets geographically
- Proximity Alerts: Combines saved searches with location-based assets to produce timely, tailored alerts
Why it matters
This powerful capability allows organizations to gain situational awareness and visibility into potential threats or incidents near critical infrastructure, facilities, equipment, or personnel locations. By consolidating this location intelligence, Echosec customers can rapidly identify, analyze, and mitigate risks that could disrupt operations, compromise safety, or impact business continuity.
Location Protection’s integration with the organization’s saved searches allows users to tailor alerts to specific threats or situations at each location. Additionally, the alerts can be configured to notify any organizational member, ensuring all relevant stakeholders are in the loop.
With better visibility into distributed physical assets, organizations can focus on locations that need attention based on the associated threats. This enables better protection and more efficient use of operational resources across the enterprise.
How it works
- In the Monitor view of Echosec, navigate to the Asset Manager under ‘Assets and Identifiers’
- Upload location-based assets. Assets can be anywhere worldwide, including head offices, production facilities, supply chain locations, event venues, critical infrastructure sites, and more.
- Create a new saved search with keywords, locations, or usernames you want to be alerted about or choose an existing saved search.
- Set the alert threshold and destination email addresses, and attach any location asset.
- You will now receive email alerts when the search criteria are met within the proximity of your asset.
