Open source social media monitoring can play a crucial role in enhancing behavioral threat assessment teams and preventing violence, both at the workplace and at schools.

By utilizing advanced monitoring tools, threat assessment teams can identify concerning online behavior, providing early warning signs and proactive intervention opportunities. The power of social media lies in its ability to give us a glimpse into people's thoughts, emotions, and intentions. With proper monitoring, we can detect potential threats and ensure a safer environment for all.

Join us in spreading awareness about the importance of social media monitoring in enhancing behavioral threat assessment teams. SEC is here to provide your organization with the most comprehensive and research-based social media monitoring services.
