The Defence and Security Monitor is an online media product launched by the Mediafax Media Company, in April 2018.[1], in collaboration with two of military’s field elite, General (r) Ștefan Dănilă, former Chief of the General Staff of the Romanian Army[2] and General-Lieutenant (r) Cristian Dincovici, former military diplomat and chief of the Directorate of Military Intelligence[3]
Besides the published analyzes, the website has congeries with military news, coming from different online sources, divided on different categories: Defence, Budgets, Arms sales, International Security, International Crises, International Organizations, Public Order, Terrorism, Intelligence, Information Warfare, Cyber Security and Legislation.
History[edit]
The Defence and Security Monitor was officially launched on 2nd of April 2018, within the BSDA 2018 exhibition[4]. It is a media product that offers strategic analyzes and future defense and security scenarios and provisions to public and private institutions, political-military policymakers, both businesses and academic environments, as well as to all those interested in informed defense and security perspectives.
Initially, the product stood out thanks to its news aggregation, based on a technology used also on Monitorul de Știri, but also to its analyzes and special reports made by collaborators, which were taken over or quoted by many niche news websites.[5][6][7]
Shortly after its launch, the Defence and Security Monitor created also a section with English materials, which was, afterwards, transformed into a different version of the site. In time, the project expanded, creating other products and sub-projects like MASTalks (online talk-shows and interviews), the video section, the possibility to register and sign-in for the premium version of the site which includes the right to republish articles, MAS Conferences[8] (conferences organized by the Defence and Security Monitor) and the MAS Magazine[9] (the publication’s printed version).
