The threat of real and emerging dangers are an unfortunate and all too real part of corporate life.

Corporate threats such as cyberattacks, natural disasters, economic downturns, or reputational damage can have long-lasting and potentially catastrophic impact on a business’ operations. , an ��������-based technology and risk consulting firm, has teamed up with AIML to reduce the impact of these types of threats on businesses using cutting-edge machine learning (ML) technology.

“Our company has developed a platform that assists organisations [with identifying] and responding to emerging risks that could cause them harm,” said Dan Shields, Sention’s Managing Director.  “This includes geo-political events, operational disruption, cyber-attacks, health events like the Covid pandemic, natural disasters, security incidents, economic and other issues.”

“Every business is affected by these threats; however, some industries and types of businesses are more vulnerable.”

Sention was the first recipient of AIML’s Industrial AI SME Grant Program. The program aims to support South Australian small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to adopt AI by providing them with access to AIML’s machine learning engineering expertise.

As part of its participation in the program, in January this year, Sention worked with AIML to improve the company’s efforts to anticipate and address corporate risks.  Using multiple AI and machine learning (ML) techniques, the AIML team created a highly innovative solution that enables businesses to become more agile in their ability to respond to corporate threats.

“Using the tools developed by the AMIL team, we’re able to provide businesses with a dynamic, customised view of how the threat landscape will affect them, in real time,” said Shields. “This will empower leadership to take action to reduce harm to their people or [any] damages to their brand, which could result in operational disruption, potential financial losses, legal liability, and other issues.”

AIML Machine Learning Engineer Nandhini Subramanian details the steps that the AIML team took to enhance the Sention product.

“Throughout the project, we maintained transparent communication [allowing us to] rapidly adapt to feedback and provide continuous improvements,” she said. “This approach ensured that the final product aligned perfectly with the client's vision.”

“The end result is a client centric interpretation of the threats and risks with deep insights and tailored information that clients can directly act on.” 

Both the Sention and AIML teams believe that their combined efforts provide another clear example of how AI and ML can significantly improve a company’s business operations and outcomes, no matter the industry.

“Through this close partnership, we've developed a deep understanding of the client's product and its potential community impact,” said Subramanian. “Our hope is that these AI enhancements will enable the client to forge stronger relationships with their customers by providing personalised insights uniquely calibrated to each end user.”
