Assured by Janes: the trusted global agency for open-source defence intelligence reasserts its leading position with a fresh brand and relaunch of Janes.com

LONDON – Janes – the trusted global agency for open-source defence intelligence – today relaunched the Janes brand to coincide with the relaunch of Janes.com, reflecting the company’s continued transformation from its publishing legacy into the leading provider of open-source data, intelligence and analytics. In a world crowded with increasingly unreliable information, Janes delivers validated open-source defence intelligence that is aligned with workflows across the defence industry, national security and government activity.

With data and insights spanning the defence and national security domains, Janes has combined its intelligence into four main capability areas: threat; equipment; country and industry, all of which continue to be assured by Janes and adhere to the unique tradecraft that Janes has honed throughout its unparalleled history of collecting open-source information.

“Our customers have trusted us for 120 years. As part of our promise to deliver the intelligence that they need in their daily tasks, we have adapted, expanded and honed our unique tradecraft,” said Blake Bartlett, CEO of Janes. “Everything we produce is assured by Janes. Our stamp of trust is reflected in our new brand identity which reinforces our strategy to transition from traditional military publisher to the leading global agency for open-source defence intelligence.”

“Our market-leading solutions enable organisations to identify and query key information that drives clear decision-making in their daily tasks. The processes, sources, and expert judgement that make up Janes tradecraft enable us to offer the highest level of assurance. We continue to offer the objective open-source intelligence and analytics that the world of defence and security relies upon, delivered by our award-winning team of analysts.”

Janes was started by naval enthusiast Fred T. Jane in 1898 to document the world’s fighting ships. Janes has since evolved into a provider of unique, proprietary open source data, with a global team of almost 400 subject matter experts delivering analysis spanning 41,000 pieces of equipment across air, land and sea, and more than 600,000 events that impact risk or security.
