Jane’s Launches Terrorism Events Map

If you are at all involved in physical security as a portion of your portfolio no doubt you have considered terrorism in your risk assessments. The grand dame of mil space security information, Jane’s, announced a new service for tracking terrorism and insurgent activities around the globe.

From the press release:

Jane’s Terrorism and Insurgency Centre is the most comprehensive and authoritative source for the latest global terrorism-related news, analysis, reference and overview of worldwide terrorist activities as they happen. The database includes detailed profile assessments of over 240 terrorist groups across the world. It allows decision makers from multi-national companies and major political players to build up an intelligence picture of areas where they have business or political interests. The map operates using ESRI’s ArcIMS Geographical Information System (GIS), which is a software tool for delivering dynamic maps through the web.

OK, this is quite a cool offering. Although too rich for this scribbler’s pocket book it looks to be a significant resource for global operators.

Here is a screen cap from the demo.
