The Geopolitics Category and Geopolitical Incidents

The Geopolitics category aims to capture all geopolitics incidents that may disrupt operations across the globe. Geopolitical incidents in samdesk may be directly related to government operations, civil activity, or active conflicts. The category is broken up into four streams:

This stream monitors all significant geopolitical incidents that have been identified as having a high impact. Overall, users will receive alerts about the most disruptive geopolitical incidents and useful updates from samdesk's analyst team.

We recommend using this stream to monitor high impact geopolitical incidents.

Governance & Policy

This stream monitors all incidents resulting from significant changes in governance and policy. Overall, users will receive alerts about incidents affecting government assets and major decisions or changes made by a government.

We recommend using this stream to monitor for disruptive incidents that are directly related to government operations.

Conflict

This stream monitors all incidents resulting from an active conflict or military activity. Overall, users will receive alerts about active military movements, clashes between warring groups, and strikes against militarized assets.
