No one in Europe has missed the fact that there is a volcano erupting spewing out ash all over Europe grounding virtually all flights here. This has of course put a strain on a lot of sectors. During media coverage there have been the usual comments but one thing that became very visible this time was all the domes day prophets crying out that we are going back to the sixties, no planes will leave the ground for years and a lot of flight companies will go broke sending us back into a recession.

This is actually not far from my own industry. I don´t know how many times I have read risk analysis pointing out one risk after another with this or that probability but very seldom I find a follow up report that actually investigated the risk analysis prognosis and compared it to actual facts.

Could this be to that logging of incidents is not taking place or that incidents are kept so well hidden that not even their management gets the reports due to the information is classified? I prefer the Apache approach giving full disclosure both on what happened and how the mitigate the problem again. Information is our best weapon in the battle of security.
