Fred Burton
Executive Director, Center for Protective Intelligence, Ontic
"Raw data does not bring wisdom or help you make sense of a threat, but a protective intelligence approach can."
Tom Kopecky
Co-Founder, President and Chief Strategy Officer, Ontic
"All signals—recent and historical, innocuous and evident—are important. Simply put, if you don’t gather and evaluate these critical data points, you can never truly understand their trajectory."
