AlertMedia Strengthens Risk Intel with Pyrra Acquisition

AlertMedia, a leader in risk intelligence and critical event management solutions, has acquired Pyrra Technologies, a company specializing in AI-driven social media monitoring and intelligence. The acquisition aims to enhance AlertMedia's ability to identify, assess, and address emerging threats to people and assets, reinforcing its offerings with AI-driven insights. Pyrra, established in 2021, excels in detecting threats across a wide range of social media platforms, including hard-to-reach digital spaces often ignored by conventional tools. Their platform processes over 3 billion digital conversations annually, providing valuable insights for uses like executive security and reputational risk management. As part of the transition, Pyrra's co-founders, Welton Chang and Eric Curwin, will join AlertMedia to continue developing their technology. The integration of Pyrra's capabilities is expected to provide a comprehensive risk intelligence solution later this year. The acquisition represents a strategic enhancement for AlertMedia in offering a unified platform for threat intelligence.
