What do fuel riots in Nigeria, a defense bill in Japan, and a semiconductor standoff in Europe have to do with your cyber alerts? Everything. Global events aren’t background noise, they are early warning signals. If you’re not tracking what’s happening in parliaments, ports, and press briefings, you’re already behind.

Geopolitical shifts often shape attacker behavior: trade policy can disrupt cloud access; civil unrest can expose vendor risk; military escalations can shift targeting. Understanding these signals allows you to strengthen threat models, anticipate risk before it hits your systems, and make smarter decisions during triage or response.

Attendees will learn how specific geopolitical developments can serve as early indicators of risk; practical methods for incorporating global context into threat modeling, incident triage, and third-party risk assessments; and where to locate open-source feeds and resources to help them build and maintain geopolitical awareness.
