Introduction
The world is filled with uncertainty, and one of the biggest threats to corporate security is terrorism. With the rise of Al-Qaeda and other terrorist organisations, companies needed a new approach to assess the risks to their operations. Insurance companies and corporate security clients require a more data-driven approach to evaluate the risks to their operations from terrorist attacks. This is where Janusian came in.
Issue
James was involved with Janusian in building its inaugural terrorism tracker database, an innovative tool which recorded terrorism incidents, plots, communique, and indicators and geo-tagged them to a Google Map. This comprehensive open-source database enabled large multinational companies’ security teams to gain an in-depth understanding of the terrorism risk landscape at the time of Al-Qaeda’s development across Europe, its targeting of hotels, embassies and oil and gas companies.
Before Janusian’s terrorism tracker database, companies had no way of knowing the extent of the terrorist threat to their operations. They relied on vague reports and information from news sources that often needed to be completed or updated. This made it difficult for them to assess the risk of terrorist attacks and take appropriate measures to protect their employees and assets.
The need for a more data-driven approach to assessing the risks to their operations from terrorist attacks was critical in the face of the increasing threat of terrorism. Companies needed to be able to identify potential areas of risk and take steps to mitigate those risks before an attack occurred.
Solution
Janusian’s terrorism tracker database was the solution to this problem. It provided a comprehensive and up-to-date source of information on terrorism incidents, plots, communique, and indicators and geo-tagged them to a Google Map. This enabled companies to gain an in-depth understanding of the terrorism risk landscape and identify potential risk areas.
The database was an innovative tool that allowed large multinational companies’ security teams to gain an in-depth understanding of the terrorism risk landscape. It provided the data behind Aon’s global terrorism and political violence report, enabling companies to make informed decisions about their security strategies.
The result of Janusian’s terrorism tracker database was a significant improvement in the ability of companies to assess the risks to their operations from terrorist attacks. The database provided a comprehensive and up-to-date source of information on terrorism incidents, plots, communique, and indicators and geo-tagged them to a Google Map.
The open-source database allowed companies to identify potential risk areas and take steps to mitigate those risks before an attack occurred. This resulted in improved security measures and reduced the risk of terrorist attacks.
Outcome
Janusian’s terrorism tracker database was a game-changer in corporate security. It provided a much-needed data-driven approach to assessing the risks to operations from terrorist attacks. The database provided a comprehensive and up-to-date source of information, enabling companies to make informed decisions about their security strategies. Thanks to Janusian’s innovation, companies are better equipped to protect their employees and assets from the threat of terrorism.
