Identify Your Risk with RedBook

Foreign Influence Risk Detection Portal

With the rise of enforcement actions from Federal research grant funding authorities, research organizations are searching for solutions to identify and resolve their foreign influence risks related to undisclosed foreign research collaborations and funding sources.

However, fearing hefty financial penalties and reputational damage, many organizations have been compelled to purchase multiple, expensive databases, hire large teams of analysts, and use intrusive approaches to research security management that can alarm and alienate researchers, principal investigators, faculty, and students. Yet, despite these efforts, it has often proven to be time-consuming and labor-intensive, with minimal results.

We built RedBook, a cloud-based platform designed to instantly give you actionable insights on your foreign influence risk. RedBook is a cost-effective, one-stop shop for quickly processing and identifying risks, saving you time and resources.

Innovation Defense Academy

Putting People First: Efficient Training Designed to Promote an Effective Security Culture

Most employees, contractors, and supply chain partners are unaware of the internal and external threats posed by foreign influence, nation-state-sponsored, and commercial competitive threat actors that exploit well-meaning people with access to research, trade secrets, and proprietary information. As a result, 95% of insider IP loss and theft is unintentional. Learn to protect yourself, your teams, and your intellectual property from espionage, competitive theft, and accidental public disclosures.

For a $10 per learner monthly investment, you will have full access to the Innovation Defense Academy, a micro-course library designed to promote best research security practices for employees at every level. We also offer enterprise pricing to meet your organization’s needs.

Building the security awareness and defensive skills of your most valuable team members (i.e., those individuals with access to your "crown jewels”) is an intelligent investment.
