a first graphical artifact representing an intelligence event;

a second graphical artifact representing an asset; and

a geofence representing a threat boundary.

14. A risk management method comprising:

receiving information from at least one information source;

receiving information from at least one asset information source;

correlating risk(s) related information with one or more asset(s) related information;

tracking and analyzing continuously a plurality of risk types for a plurality of countries or regions; and

generating a risk assessment report indicative of any number of the plurality of countries or regions based on one or more determined risks from the analysis of risk types.

15. The risk management method of claim 14 ,

wherein the receiving information from at least one asset information source includes receiving asset information from at least one physical asset information source including time specific physical asset location tracking information for a physical asset of an organization using the risk management method, wherein the risk management method provides the risk assessment report identifying risks projected to cause delay, inconvenience or harm the physical asset, and which is based on input from the at least one information source and the at least one physical asset information source.

16. The risk management method of claim 15 , further comprising identifying related intelligence information and physical asset information with a risk mitigation toolbox, wherein the related intelligence information is maintained using the at least one information source and the related physical asset information is maintained using the at least one physical asset information source.

17. The risk management method of claim 14 , wherein generating the risk assessment report includes using information derived at least in part by a content identification segment.

18. The risk management method of claim 15 , wherein the physical asset information includes geographic location information.

19. The risk management method of claim 18 , wherein the geographic location information includes a set of Global Positioning System coordinates associated with an asset.

20. The risk management method of claim 18 , wherein the geographic location information includes a set of coordinates for a geographic information system associated with an asset.

21. The risk management method of claim 14 , wherein the information includes geocodes.

22. The risk management method of claim 14 , further comprising sending critical event notification messages to users according to a set of business rules that include an escalation mechanism.

23. The risk management method of claim 18 , wherein the geographic location information is associated with a fixed asset.

24. The risk management method of claim 18 , wherein the geographic location information is associated with a movable asset.

25. The risk management method of claim 18 , wherein the geographic location information is indicative of a time specific geographic location of a person that is employed by an organization using the risk management system.

26. The risk management method of claim 14 , wherein generating the risk assessment report further comprises:

outputting a map page to a user, the map page including a graphical user interface;

representing an intelligence event using a first graphical artifact;

representing an asset using a second graphical artifact; and

representing a threat boundary using a geofence.

27. An asset risk management system comprising:

at least one intelligence source;

at least one physical asset information source including time specific physical asset location, tracking information for a physical asset of an organization using the risk management system; and

an analysis engine coupled to the at least one intelligence source and the at least one asset information source, the analysis engine configured to correlate risk(s) with one or more asset(s) and provide a risk assessment report identifying risks projected to cause a delay, inconvenience or harm the physical asset.

28. The asset risk management system of claim 27 , further comprising a risk mitigation toolbox configured to identify related intelligence maintained using the at least one intelligence source and related information maintained using the at least one physical asset information source.
