Digital chatter is an essential source of risk intelligence for protecting pharma brands
The speed and scale of digital chatter has dramatically reduced the time available to assess an issue—let alone determine if the social media commentary warrants immediate action. The risk signals embedded within digital chatter can deliver additional days, if not weeks, of valuable time to mitigate the issue or better prepare to minimize the damage when it becomes a reality.
82% say digital chatter has meant there is a shorter window of time to react or respond to risks.
80% say the escalation of incidents within minutes is the most useful intelligence needed to identify and mitigate risks going forward.
