Publication number: 20190073734Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are provided for a threat alert system for identifying safety and security concerns from social media content. The threat alert system receives a search term and combines it with another term from a library. Social media content is searched for the search term and the library term to identify content that includes safety and security concerns based on the search term and the library term. The library term aids in constraining the search of social media to identify content that includes safety and security concerns, rather than other benign information. Determination of an existence of a relationship between an author of the identified social media content results and an enterprise triggers generation and transmission of an alert to a device associated with the enterprise, the alert including the social media content results. Some embodiments opportunistically pattern match content in social media posts against a library of terms identify safety and security threats.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2017Publication date: March 7, 2019Applicants: Social Sentinel, Inc., Social Sentinel, Inc.Inventors: Andrew J.
