1. EMPOWERING A WORLD AT RISK!

2. Veratect
Situational Risk Intelligence
A proven system that detects the earliest indicators of emerging threats
enabling corporations, governments and NGO’s
the ability to readily apply the proprietary risk information, data and
metrics to their specific risk intelligence and management capabilities.

3. Background
• Initially a prototype was incubated by the U.S. DoD and IC with a
goal of detecting and identifying WMD – B and other CBRN
instances earlier than available through other means.
• Recognizing commercial viability Veratect privatized with the
ability to provide advance warning of emerging and endemic
communicable disease risks worldwide in many cases days, weeks,
and months before any governmental warnings were issued
• The core Veratect analytic team as the subject matter experts within
the prototype were first to…
− Identify the expansion of H5N1 from Southern China to Russia and then to Eastern Europe
− Notify US government of outbreak of FMD in UK in 2007
− Identify Ebola in DRC in August 2007
− Provide early warning of vaccine drift of H3N2, a virus mutation that went undetected by CDC
and resulted in 170 percent increase in seasonal deaths since 2004‐5 in United States
