Why it matters?
Global events create high-volume, fast-changing digital environments. Signals don’t exist in isolation, they:
- Scale rapidly across platforms
- Connect across regions and communities
- Shift in response to real-world events
- Persist beyond the event lifecycle
Understanding these patterns is critical for teams responsible for security, investigations, and risk monitoring.
