Horizon | Global Risk & Travel Security Monitoring

How it works

Categories and Topics

Set up your focus to receive email notifications every time an event of interest is detected. A focus is a combination of a location and topic (e.g. United States + security + safety). Watch this video tutorial to learn more.

Use Horizon as a database displaying an accurate timeline of incidents and information and discover how the security situation evolves over time. Watch this video timelapse on Nigeria’s security in 2016.

A geofence allows you to define a perimeter around a specific address and to receive notifications if something happens in the chosen proximity.
