Homeland Security: A Business Review

SUMMARY

OBJECTIVES OF THE REVIEW

This four-part review covers some important technologies, products, companiesand markets in the fight against various forms of terrorism. It reviews themeans to protect the nation's food, water and air by smart sensor technology. Itexamines some of the important technologies to secure borders, facilities andbuildings, and also studies Internet security measures. Lastly, it reviews theurgent need to develop the means to effectively respond to terrorist attacks,should they occur, the economic and market implications of an attack, as well asexamples of products and recent research.

REASONS FOR DOING THIS REVIEW AND ITS IMPORTANCE

The use of commercial aircraft in acts of terrorism reached a tragic climaxon 9/11. Hijackings and airport bomb attacks experienced over the last thirtyyears resulted in tightened airport security in the U.S. and the rest of theworld, but the scale of the 9/11 attack exposed the inadequacy of thosemeasures. Clearly, there was and is an urgent need to better control and monitorthe access of unauthorized people not only in airports, but to criticalinstallations.

It was quickly realized, too, that the food we eat, the water we drink andthe air we breathe were also easy targets for determined terrorists. Theseterrorists could in fact attack using biological, chemical and nuclear means towhich the nation was ill prepared to respond.

All of this resulted in an unprecedented push to research and developtechnologies and products to counter the threats described above.

CONTRIBUTIONS OF THIS REVIEW AND INTENDED AUDIENCE

With its broad scope, this study will prove a valuable resource, particularlyfor anyone involved with or interested in the markets for analyticalinstrumentation, drug and toxicology analysis and treatment, and DNA profiling.It will be of interest also to the electronic security, and biometricsindustries.

This study will be particularly useful for:

• researchers, laboratory and government personnel working in research orcompany settings, as well as business professionals
• potential investors
• members of the general public who are interested in acquiring abusiness-oriented view of the counter terrorism.

SCOPE AND FORMAT

This review is divided into four sections. The first section covers theeconomic consequences and government response to possible attacks to thenation's food, water and air. It also reviews sensor technology that could beused to detect dangerous microorganisms. The second section looks attechnologies and products that could be used to secure the nation's borders,facilities and buildings. The third section studies the means needed to securethe Internet, intranets and wide area networking systems from intrusion. Thefourth section reviews the means needed to respond to the biological, chemicaland nuclear attacks.
