Government open data provides a wealth of information that can be harnessed to enhance security knowledge tools. By accessing and analyzing data sets from various government sources, security professionals can gain insights into potential threats, vulnerabilities, and trends. These data sets may include crime statistics, emergency response records, infrastructure details, and public health information. Integrating this information into security knowledge tools can lead to improved situational awareness, more accurate threat assessments, and more efficient resource allocation. As a result, security professionals will be better equipped to protect citizens, infrastructure, and institutions from both physical and cyber threats.
OpenKAT is a vehicle that can bring together all sorts of open data sources. In this workshop Jan Klopper and Brenno de Winter explain how you can harvest your data of interest, make it forensically sound and use it in reports.
