A shifting global environmentAn unsettled world of shifting and evolving social, political, and economic environments is giving rise to new actual and potential threats that security organisations must detect, understand, and counter. As the alliances, aims, and operational methods of non-state actors constantly change in response to events, analysts need to understand the direction and pace of change in order to make critical decisions and create meaningful plans. Perhaps most importantly, analysts need to be able to trust the open-source intelligence these plans and decisions are based on.

Reliable, independent, unrivalledFor more than 100 years, security organisations across the globe have trusted Jane’s to deliver objective, meaningful, and actionable intelligence quickly and effectively through unmatched data and expertise.

Drawing on the global expertise of the IHS Markit Country Risk Analysis and Forecasting Team and Jane's analysts, Jane's Terrorism and Insurgency Centre (JTIC) provides open source intelligence using data that is collected from multiple sources and double-source verified. This enables analysts to work only with those data sets that are significant and reliable in order to support, validate, and declassify proprietary and classified sources.

Our analysts, who are acutely aware of the difficulties inherent in the use of open source information, apply a rigorous methodology to the gathering and processing of open source data. This enables them to mitigate potential pitfalls, and provide assurance to our customers, that they can trust the conclusions they draw from Jane’s data and insight.

Objective, impartial, and reliable insight from experts you can trust

News and analysisGlobal news, analysis, and daily insight into terrorism and counter-terrorism events, trends, and developments are drawn from renowned Jane’s national security news resources including Jane’s Intelligence Weekly, Country Risk Daily Report, Terrorism & Insurgency Monitor, and Jane's Intelligence Review

Global attack index and country briefingsThe monthly global attack index provides a holistic examination of the worldwide trends in violence by non-state armed groups over the previous month to provide a global perspective.

Following this overview, the reports then focus in on a regional level to provide more nuanced analysis of key trends, events, and developments within regions and specific countries.

For each region, a country assessed as experiencing significant or notable levels of non-state armed activity is then selected, assessed, and evaluated as a country briefing by our experts. Separate country briefings are produced for Iraq and Syria every month.
