As the risk environment becomes more complex, organizations are increasingly prioritizing physical security solutions and working to unify fragmented security operations, reinforcing the demand for Ontic’s Connected Intelligence Platform, which acts as a command center to help security teams shift from siloed, reactive operations to proactive programs that surface meaningful insights, improve response, and support smarter business decisions. Ontic aggregates open-source intelligence (OSINT) and external threat signals alongside internal data from systems like HR, legal, IT, and facilities. Spanning risk intelligence, incident management, investigations and case management, the platform eliminates manual processes and delivers a common operating picture across the entire risk landscape—from executive protection and workplace violence to insider threats and travel risk.
