Jane’s Information Group provides a wide range of accurate, sector-wide relevant intelligence services and solutions

Jane’s Security Intelligence Solutions cover three critical areas of national security: country risk, military capabilities and terrorism and insurgency.

The business of security is about staying ahead of active and potential enemies. However, security forces must now deal with an ever-faster proliferation of weapons, from small arms to CBRN. At the same time, advancing technologies give both state and non-state actors (whether terrorists or crime organisations) new capabilities to organise, infiltrate and attack. In this environment, it is essential to have the best possible access to the most up to date information and intelligence.

This is why Jane’s is moving quickly too: expanding its provision to bring you complete coverage.

For example: in the past year we have closely monitored topical issues ranging from the problems caused by ethnic separatism to the links between drugs, people trafficking and terrorist financing. We regularly report on issues of political and social stability in specific countries and, of course, wars, ceasefires and alliances.

Country risk
Planning for effective protection begins with a full understanding of the types and sources of risk that you face. That’s why Jane’s collects, focuses and filters information from across the security spectrum. You can check on the pertinent dangers affecting individual countries, or receive intelligence specifically analysing security forces, equipment and leadership. There are also country risk assessments available on key topics including bilateral and multilateral/regional relations, political stability and risks of coups, crime (including drug, arms and people trafficking), and civil war. Much of this information and analysis is drawn together in one intelligence centre, enabling fast access to related information.

Military capabilities
Whether you are primarily interested in air, land or sea forces - or all three - Jane’s covers all the bases. Our authoritative perspective combines the latest information available with independent analysis, so you can accurately assess strength and vulnerability when making your own threat analysis. You can find further specialist intelligence on amphibious and special forces.

Terrorism and insurgency
With Jane’s, you can have deep insight into your asymmetric adversaries: we offer you detailed intelligence about the threats faced by specific countries, or posed by different terrorist groups. You can also find analysis of terrorism trends by tactic, target or casualties. Other themes include the financing of terrorism, propaganda, recruitment and radicalisation; also counterterrorism operations, and prevention and mitigation strategies. All this crucial information is brought together in a specific intelligence centre.

Defence and transport intelligence
Jane’s also provides comprehensive information and analysis on the defence and transport sectors. Jane’s defence resources give you fast, on-demand, accurate intelligence, all of which can be delivered through one integrated feed; while our transport intelligence delivers the latest developments in aviation, maritime, railway and urban systems.
