In an era where risks are evolving at lightning speed — from sudden regulatory changes to geopolitical turmoil — traditional methods of identifying and responding to external threats are no longer sufficient. Organizations across industries are struggling to keep up, often relying on outdated data or fragmented systems that only capture a piece of the risk puzzle.
Recognizing this gap, SAI360, a global leader in Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) software, has launched a groundbreaking new module: the Emerging Risk Radar, powered by Signal AI.
Why the Need for a Risk Radar?
Research from leading organizations reveals major shortcomings in current external risk management practices:
- Ad-hoc monitoring and manual intelligence gathering
- Data lag of up to 3 months — too slow for today’s decision-makers
- Under-resourced ERM teams despite a growing volume of risk signals
- Global enterprises grappling with regionally skewed and quickly outdated data
The result? A growing need for real-time external risk intelligence that not only detects threats but translates them into actionable strategies.
What Is the Emerging Risk Radar?
The Emerging Risk Radar is a first-of-its-kind AI-powered horizon scanning tool embedded directly into the SAI360 platform. Built in partnership with Signal AI — a global leader that processes 5.5+ million data points daily — it offers a fully integrated, 360-degree risk intelligence solution.
Key Features:
- AI-Driven Horizon Scanning
- Real-Time Alerts
- Automated Scoring & Benchmarking
- Visualization Dashboard

Case in Point: The Titanium Shockwave
In February 2022, the Russian invasion of Ukraine disrupted titanium supplies. Boeing and Airbus were forced to suspend purchases from their Russian supplier, causing titanium prices to spike 90% and impacting aerospace production worldwide. Had organizations detected early signals and trends — political tensions, sanctions talk, market fluctuations — they could’ve implemented alternate sourcing strategies, minimizing financial and operational impacts.
This is exactly the kind of early warning scenario the Emerging Risk Radar is designed to surface — before the headlines hit.
