What is Digital Threat Detection?
Digital Threat Detection is a proactive digital safety solution that scans district-owned platforms and public social media for early signs of risk, including self-harm, potential threats of violence, harassment, and substance abuse. By analyzing language patterns and context with AI, this software helps schools identify students in distress and act before issues escalate.
Unlike traditional keyword-based monitoring, Navigate360’s effective threat detection and response system uses an advanced language engine built by data scientists and linguistic experts. It interprets word order, grammar, slang, and sentiment to reduce false positives and ensure staff are alerted only to the most relevant and actionable concerns.
This is not surveillance. Navigate360 does not access private messages or conduct human reviews. Only school-authorized personnel receive alerts, ensuring that privacy and free speech are protected at every step.
Through real-time alerts and actionable insights, your safety and mental health teams can intervene quickly and compassionately, giving students the support they need when they need it most.

Frequently Asked Questions About Digital Threat Detection
Is Digital Threat Detection considered student surveillance?
No. Navigate360 Digital Threat Detection is not a surveillance tool. It does not access private communications or involve human monitoring.
