About the webinar

Governments today are not short on information—they are overwhelmed by it, especially external‑facing agencies. Signals of emerging risk often appear publicly and early, but across different languages, domains and sources. By the time patterns are recognised, escalation is often already underway.

In this on‑demand webinar, SAS and Quadron shared a practical introduction to the Global Passive Monitoring System (GPMS)—a cloud‑based early warning and risk intelligence solution designed for public‑sector use. The session explored how governments can detect emerging threats earlier using open‑source intelligence, without increasing analyst workload.

What was covered

  • How GPMS continuously monitors public‑domain information in over 65 languages
  • How the PMESII analytical framework helps surface cross‑domain risk patterns in a meaningful way
  • ow governments can move from reactive response to proactive anticipation
  • How early warning can be delivered without expanding analyst teams

The webinar also demonstrated how GPMS can be tailored to national priorities across the Asia‑Pacific region.

This session was designed for

  • Government and public-sector leaders 
  • National security, intelligence, external-affairs, public safety, and civil protection agencies 
  • Policy and planning, and strategic futures teams 
  • Critical infrastructure and energy organisations 

In collaboration with
