This is a global intelligence company founded in 1996 in Austin, Texas by George Friedman. The company has been described as " a private quasi-CIA". The company " fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations." Although it has large multinational corporations as clients, its reputation among intelligence experts is poor: It has been described as "just The Economist a week later and several hundred times more expensive"

The company gained worldwide attention when it was hacked by Anonymous, who claim to have retrieved 200 GB of data. Its email cache was released by Wikileaks on 27 February 2012, and revealed among others, monitoring of protesters of Bhopal Gas Tragedy by Dow Chemicals, and of PETA activists in Canada during 2010 Winter Olympics for Coca-Cola Company.
