An indispensable geopolitical planning resource, the Factal Forecast newsletter and podcast give you a jump on the news that will be making headlines around the world in the week ahead – and why it will matter.

The graphic for the Global Security Briefing shows the logos for Factal, Emergent Risk International and the Global Security Briefing over a black and grey map of the world.

Since the earliest days of COVID, Factal and Emergent Risk International have held an essential hour-long briefing for global security and resilience professionals.

Held every two weeks on Thursdays – and available afterward on demand – the Global Security Briefing is now the industry’s largest virtual event of its kind.

The graphic for The Debrief has the Factal logo and the words The Debrief over several tents and a sunrise or sunset.

Every month Factal’s journalists take a look back at major global stories that you might have missed in The Debrief newsletter.

In our 24/7 newsroom, we cover the news that has the biggest impact to humanity – which doesn’t always match what makes the biggest headlines.

The graphic for Factal's twitter page is the logos for Factal and Twitter on a slate-style blue.

Our most significant global alerts are shared with the public on the Factal Twitter and Mastodon accounts. Just like on Factal.com and the Factal app, these tweets are verified and contextualized by our editors.

Over a blurry black & grey background the words "Factal Risk Intelligence Forecast 2024"
