Event management
Large-scale events present attractive targets for disruptive actors or security threats.
Large events are high-density targets.
Concerts and live sporting events are attractive targets for threat actors because of the large surface area they present for attacks or disruption.
Signal allows large event managers to protect their audiences by monitoring keywords and locations many months before the event is due to start.
How Signal helps protect large-scale events
Signal searches for location and event names, and high-profile performers or teams, sifting out the noise to find posts that indicate a security risk.
Signal monitors geographical locations to provide instant alerts on events within a certain radius.
Signal scans for ticket-fraud scammers or cybercriminal campaigns aimed at eventgoers.
