Creating a Risk Event Feed
1. General Configuration
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Status | Enable or pause the feed |
| Expires On | Set an end date for automatic deactivation (optional) |

| Use Case | Choose from Crisis Mgmt, VIP Protection, Vulnerability Assessment, etc. |
| Tags | Add metadata for grouping or audit filtering |
| Send Data To | Choose a storage or routing destination inside XTI |

2. Risk Category Selection
You can track up to five of the following incident types:

3. Keyword Filtering (Optional)
| Filter Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Primary Keywords | Add event types or risk indicators (e.g., “ransomware”, “evacuation”) |
| Must Contain | Require inclusion of terms (e.g., “pipeline”, “coast guard”) |
| Must Not Contain | Exclude unwanted phrases or common noise terms |
| Ignore Domains | Remove updates from unwanted sources |
Use * as the primary keyword to track all relevant activity within your selected risk categories.
Monitoring Workflow
Each event includes:
- Title and structured summary
- Risk classification tags
- Source metadata and timestamp
- Geolocation context (if available)
- Language-specific content (with optional translation)
All items are indexed and viewable in the Console, and can be filtered by tag, risk type, or keyword.
Best Practices
- ✅ Focus by region or asset — Use tags like
supply_chain,executive_trip, orEU - 🧠 Update filters quarterly — Align with your emerging risk landscape
- 🔗 Integrate into dashboards — Connect to threat boards, alerting systems, or SIEMs
- 🌐 Enable translation — Increase visibility across global threats
- 📊 Review signals daily — Especially for critical categories like infrastructure, unrest, or cyber
Example Scenarios
- Track cyber-physical incidents impacting oil refineries in Southeast Asia
- Detect social media alerts tied to public safety issues near an executive travel path
- Monitor for terrorism-linked threats near major sporting events
- Surface weather or environmental disruptions that may affect your supply chain
Data Sources
Risk Event Feed pulls from:
- ✅ Major news outlets
- ✅ Government-issued alerts and advisories
- ✅ Social media signals (e.g., X/Twitter)
