Intelligence Agencies and New Technology
Intelligence Agencies and New Technology

Summary/Abstract: New technologies bring new changes. They are more accessible than ever and so is the knowledge of their importance. At the same time, they have the potential to transform and empower business but also to challenge the opponent’s efficacy and capabilities. New technologies are already affecting the mode of operation of many agencies including the intelligence agencies. A large quantity of information is very difficult to process so it has become the occurring problem on a daily basis. In the past, data and information on a specific security problem or strategic goal were stored in one place, and then, using the analytical-synthetic methods they were evaluated and solutions were proposed. The digital age requires the intelligence agencies to collect, analyze and process a large quantity of data in a short period of time. This has been achieved with the invention of new technologies. However, this raises some other questions related to the need to transform certain methods of intelligence work, i.e. the institutional capacities of countries.
