The fast evolving geo-political environment at European level, which is being strongly influenced by the process of enlargement of today's European Union and NATO towards the East, poses new security challenges that need to be addressed within the curricula of agents dealing with the governance of the security sector. The consequent increase in mobility among people and goods considerably broadens the range of security threats. This is testified by the mounting attention being paid by both NATO and the European Community to the definition of specific security sector education frameworks which are providing the means for reforming education and training within the defence domain. However, besides dealing with legal, strategic and geopolitical issues, the new security education models should not disregard the significant advancements that science and technology have delivered in very many fields related to defence and homeland security and the great impact that these may have at the operational level and therefore for the overall security. In fact today's challenges clearly cannot be tackled only through judicial and legislative measures. Instead it requires a reform in the way security experts are trained and educated, embracing a multidisciplinary technological perspective. In this chapter we claim that the security sector governance can be greatly enhanced through the adoption, within the curricula of security operators at different levels, of new technologies capable of increasing the level of context awareness of the actors and, at the same time, which can deliver better response to unexpected events or crises whenever these occur. Starting from the aforementioned outlook, this chapter highlights the importance of educating the forthcoming generations of security experts to the use of geospatial technologies and in particular it discusses the importance being played within this context by the advent of the recent discipline of Geo-Visual Analytics (GVA). The chapter presents their use to the curricula of those engaged in security both within military and civilian educational institutions. The chapter presents how GVA can be beneficial both as enabling technology capable of supporting security operators in the aftermath of incidents or as simulation platforms to train operators to develop strategies and responses.
