Cardinal Intel · World Watch
The world doesn't stop. Your intelligence shouldn't either.
Real-time global threat monitoring built for SMBs who can't afford to be caught off guard.
What's missing
Your competitors have intelligence teams. You have a news feed.
Palantir costs $1M+ per year. Control Risks charges $50,000+ for an annual contract. Both require dedicated analysts and months of onboarding.
Meanwhile, ransomware doesn't wait for your next board meeting. Supply chain threats don't announce themselves. And the breach that takes down your company this quarter is already visible to someone watching the right feeds.
World Watch puts those feeds in your hands — without the enterprise price tag or the analyst headcount.
What World Watch is
A live global threat intelligence dashboard — purpose-built for SMBs.
Not a news aggregator. Not a compliance checklist. A real-time operational picture of the threats that are active right now, filtered to what actually matters to your business.
What's inside
Six capabilities. One dashboard.
Live Global Threat Map
Incident markers updated in real time across every major region. Four severity levels — critical, high, medium, low. Hover any marker for full incident detail. Toggle data layers on and off.
AI-Filtered Alerts
World Watch doesn't show you everything. It shows you what matters to your industry, your region, and your tech stack. Cardinal AI filters thousands of daily signals down to the ones relevant to you.
Cyber Threat Feeds
Active ransomware campaigns, CVE exploits in the wild, dark web credential dumps, APT actor movements — all surfaced in a live alert stream with severity scoring and mitigation guidance.
Your Risk Profile
Not just what's happening in the world — what it means for your company specifically. Live risk score, attack surface map, and AI-prioritized action list updated as new threats emerge.
Intel Toolkit
Ten built-in recon tools: Port Scan, Vuln Scan, DNS lookup, WHOIS, CVE search, SSL/TLS check, subdomain discovery, tech stack detection, threat headers, and more. Run directly from the dashboard.
Dark Web Monitoring
Cardinal watches breach databases and dark web forums for your domain and employee credentials. Get alerted the moment your company appears in a dump — before your customers find out first.
The category
Two types of companies have had access to intelligence like this. Nation-states. And Fortune 500s.
Palantir built the category for governments and defense contractors. Control Risks serves global enterprises with six-figure contracts and dedicated analyst teams. World Watch is the first real-time threat intelligence dashboard built for the other 28 million businesses — the ones who face the same threats but never had the tools to see them.
Risk, understood. Finally.
How it works
Up and running in five minutes.
Connect your profile
Tell Cardinal your industry, region, tech stack, and team size during onboarding. Takes under five minutes.
World Watch calibrates
Cardinal AI filters the global threat landscape down to what's relevant to your specific business. Your dashboard shows your version of the world — not a generic feed.
Stay ahead, automatically
New threats surface in real time. Your risk score updates. AI-prioritized actions tell you exactly what to do next — before the threat becomes your problem.
