Welcome to Threatz

To successfully understand and counter the various threats to public security and safety (the Homeland Security and Resilience arena) it is vital that practitioners have a firm grasp of the variety of different threats, their relative likelihoods and impacts, and the recent changes/responses which have happened.

Too often people tend to focus on the 'issue of the day' and fail to see the big picture; the interconnections between threats and answering services. Threatz is focused on answering this need in a number of arenas.

Global Threatz

Using the 'wisdom of crowds' approach, collecting and collating views, news and opinions on key Threatz around the world. The focus is to gather peoples' views on relatively likelihoods of various events and news and presenting this considered view back in context. This will hopefully provide people with an overview of what are really the key subjects, and how they are changing.

Business Services

Taking the global picture as a foundation, building targeted understanding, visualisation services and scenarios which focus on the issues and problems faced by business and government agencies. We can help to build better understanding because our work is based on standing back and NOT expecting tomorrow to look like today.
