THREAT OF TERRORISM - WORLDWIDE RISK

 

In excess of 21 countries are at a reduced risk of terrorism and political violence according to counter terrorism experts.

(Albania, Bangladesh, Barbados, Bhutan, Brazil, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cuba, Czech Republic, Egypt, Fiji, Guyana, Honduras, Kyrgyzstan, Mauritania, Mongolia, Morocco, Mozambique, Panama, Tunisia and Uzbekistan)

 

In excess of 13 countries at increased risk from terrorism and political violence according to counter terrorism experts.

(Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Ireland, Lesotho, Norway, Saudi Arabia, Tanzania and Ukraine)

 

South America sees the most positive results, with the risk level declining in at least seven countries across the region, including Cuba and Honduras which have both seen the first reduction in risk of the decade. This reflects counter-terrorism progress and moves to end long time conflicts in Colombia and Peru. No countries in Latin America are rated at increased risk in 2015, highlighting the potential for increased business investment across the continent.

 

Elevated geopolitical tensions in parts of Eastern Europe and Eurasia contributed to two increased risk scores in the region - Ukraine and Estonia. Russia's military manoeuvers and increase in military spending mean that the potential for further armed conflicts in the area is no longer unthinkable, yet the overall outlook in the rest of the region is more positive, including in Central Asia.

 

Sub-Saharan Africa is home to the most countries at high risk, with discontent over government and socioeconomic problems the catalyst for civil unrest and conflict, creating a 'triangle of risk' stretching between Nigeria, Somalia and Libya. However, by comparison, Southern Africa stands out as a sub-region of relative stability. There is a similar picture across the Middle East, with a wide gap in risk between the stable, wealthier Gulf states and the Levant, Yemen and Bahrain.

 

SECURITY

 

Important Security Concepts

 

  • Assurance - Assurance is the level of guarantee that a security system will behave as expected.

  • Countermeasure - A countermeasure is a way to stop a threat from triggering a risk event.

  • Defense in depth - Never rely on one single security measure alone.

  • Risk - A risk is a possible event which could cause a loss.

  • Threat - A threat is a method of triggering a risk event that is dangerous.

  • Vulnerability - A weakness in a target that can potentially be exploited by a security threat.

  • Exploit - A vulnerability that has been triggered by a threat - a risk of 1.0 (100%).

 

 

  ALWAYS PAY ATTENTION TO ANYONE PAYING TOO MUCH ATTENTION TO YOU.
