Protect your critical assets - stay informed of non-state armed group activity impacting the energy sector

Focus Area: Asset Protection

Janes delivers a global and structured database of more than 410,000 verified and validated open-source events related to non-state armed groups that is updated daily. With multiple fields of metadata, the events database and group profiles, along with expert in-depth analysis of trends and militant groups’ use of propaganda, enables those within critical industries to better visualise and identify patterns and trends in global terrorism activity.

For analysts and project managers within the oil and gas sector, this means staying informed about energy sector attack distribution in order to support critical assets and infrastructure, and mitigate risk.

Know the threat:

• Dedicated monthly focus around energy sector attack distribution within Janes Terrorism Global Attack Index.
• Events can be narrowed down by the target objects and attempted attacks are included to provide a more complete risk picture.
• Data visualisations by non-state armed group (NSAG) and country give key insight into the timeframe and method of attacks. 
• Charts of counter-terror operations and the NSAG attacks deliver an understanding of how states are responding to the threat posed, and what support already exists that could be leveraged.
• Militant propaganda analysis will bring in the current aims ​and narrative of the NSAG in question, to enable​ anticipation of actions.
• Co-ordinating attack information with bases or any infrastructure that is perceived as vulnerable through the same geo-spatial view allows a robust view to be created. 
• The group profiles demonstrate the NSAG’s intent and capacity to disrupt to provide a rounded view of the events and produce trend analysis, including capability assessments.
• A granular breakdown of the events information by month will allow for temporal analysis when needed.​
• All of this information together, allied with mobility/staff movements in and outside of country, helps to identify hotspots for activity to build into a security advisory.
