(26/3) Week 5 – Is there still a need for human
intelligence
PART 1: INTELLIGENCE CYCLE
- Planning and tasking
- Collecting information
o Collecting and minding the enormous information which uses cyber people
translators, and writers
o Managing and evaluating people who are recruited which takes a lot of effort
o Process of gaining difficult/secret information
o Strategies;
OSINT
- Accessible
- Rest processing and exploitation than other forms of collection
- Provides context for secret info collected
- Open to all media, news sites, blogs, think tank pieces, academic
papers, review sites, government records and reports, public
speehes, ultural iforatio’s e.g. plays whih talk aout the
cultural nuances, NGOs
Negatives
- Information overload
- Open source info can be open to deception
SIGNT
- Ships, planes, wire taps, traffic analysis
- Connections of interceptions between two parties
- Detecting patterns within communications (more to do with analysing
than content)
Advantages
- Can know exact intent
- Provides context and texture
– e.g. tones, word choice and
sentiment analysis
Disadvantages
- Vast quantities of
information
- Requires translation if in
another language – more
man power
- Encryption
IMINT
- Overhead satellites, drones and CCTV footage
- Facial recognition identifies people by personal characteristics
- Geospatial intelligence → sub section which helps to map out terrains
etc.
Advantages
- Provide huge amount of
information
- Evident through an image
easier to see
Disadvantages
- All require interpretation not
as fact
- Only tells you a snapshot in
time – mitigate by using
surveillance
