THE PROBLEM
Organizations pushing the frontiers of innovation — from advanced research to emerging technologies — face growing exposure to sophisticated recruitment and influence operations.
These aren’t ordinary job offers. They’re systematic cultivation efforts — multi-year relationship-building through conferences, co-authorships, and institutional affiliations — targeting employees with access to your most sensitive IP.
The typical response creates brittle security. Heavy monitoring, nationality-based restrictions, and zero-trust systems chill collaboration, generate false positives, and drive away your best talent. They make remaining employees more vulnerable, not less.
You need resilient security, not paranoid security.
R&D organizations face a real tension: traditional security tools rely on surveillance, opacity, and after-the-fact investigation. That destroys trust. But ignoring risks isn’t an option. Havn eliminates this false choice — protecting IP without alienating the people who create it.
Inside companies today, employees are often flagged without context: conference attendance, co-authorships, institutional ties. They rarely know why. Opaque risk scores. Misinterpreted relationships. No voice in a process that can derail careers — and innovation.

Reduce false positives through expert analysis that understands legitimate international collaboration.
