threat detection  

Definition

  • In today's dynamic, high-velocity social and business environment, most crises do not occur suddenly. Ian Mitroff observed that long before its actual occurrence, a crisis sends off a repeated and persistent trail of early warning signals that could be picked up by a threat detection mechanism at a time when there is still opportunity to prevent it from occurring.
