Cold War

The National Security has been dominated by Terrorism and cyber-crime in recent years,

a senior intelligence officer rushes in a meeting with the latest report and places it in front of concerned politicians and political decision-makers.

In The Past , it could have included attack details on a planned terror - maybe a cell in the Middle East with a view to a new way of taking down an airline. This would lead to the well-practiced, the National Security of the machine cranking in gear.

But in The Future , the report may instead be an outbreak of The Virus in a distant Land, which he concealed under his government.

Since the 9/11 attacks nearly 20 years ago, that was National Security dominated by the Terrorism . But the votes have been argued over The Years , have used the term "security" should be expanded and the coronavirus crisis has raised a significant question of whether the global health security should be a Central component of National Security .

Under The Last post, an international pandemic, classified as a Tier 1 National Security risk in the UK - importance and it was considered to be the highest priority - But that has not reflected in the resources, or The Way in which the Problem was tackled, when compared with The Other three threats on the same Level of Terrorism , war and cyber-attacks.

But in The Wake of 9/11, there are people who feel they were not heard when they warned that the lights were blinking red across our health security.

For the secret service, the adaptation of a significant gear change can be. A priority for political decision-makers the knowledge of the ground,-the truth about the health situation in Another Country .

For agencies Like MI6 and the CIA to recruit human sources, it can mean that you have to make sure that agents can be in The Right place, who, what is really happening.

It can also shifts in what agencies are looking for the intercept of communication and in the technical intelligence, satellite can be tasked to medical or burial sites

Just as technology has been developed in order to Remote to 'sniff' for the traces of nuclear material, new equipment may be required in order to scan for the health and bio-threats.

But this is still largely the traditional world of information retrieval.

to see The Real future may be in the use of complex sets of data and Artificial Intelligence to understand and predict trends in a population to predict.

analysis of the meta-data of mobile phones, online searches or other forms of activity that could be used. Four Years ago, the then-Director of digital innovation for the CIA study, population-Level data for an entire country with AI, and techniques such as 'sentiment analysis'.

The idea was to be able to events - such as an approaching collapse of law and order and the potential for a Revolution - before it was on the Hand.

the U.S. and China are already engaged in a race to the superiority, which many in Washington fear you might lose because China is investing massively in the development of skills and the acquisition of data.

One of the great unknowns is how this crisis plays out in rising nationalism in The Last few years. Could it be the Spread of The Virus underscores the global, networked nature of Our World , and this leads to a closer cooperation, including exchange of information on all the new pandemics.

Or it could be that the borders close, and countries turn inward - the realignment of the necessity of gathering information, what I might do in other countries-and to hide it or make new discoveries you have made.

"Biological espionage' has a long History in the Cold War , The West and the Soviet Union were desperate to understand what pathogens mysterious biological disease, and nerve poisons The Other hand, the development could. In The Future , the value is less about guns and more about vaccines can be.

The long-held fears that terrorists or other groups could unleash bio-weapons are also turbo-charged by the recent events with already some indications that extreme right-wing groups considered have, to attempt to disseminate deliberately The Virus . The U.S. Department of justice has said that those who do intentionally, so can be charged as a terrorist. to understand

the change of The Last years and counter disinformation of the enemy States looks to have been, continue to be of great importance in This World , But there are also challenges in the domestic market.

One of The Questions arising from the current crisis, how far are the countries with a larger domestic monitoring capacity to prevent the Spread of viruses and also to understand and control The Movement of people, that Spread .

the Moscow police will soon ask the citizens to show them a QR to prove code, you have the permission to go

in China, it has to do with the smart-phone-tracking-software, this to. Russia was looking for with the help of CCTV and Facial Recognition system, to break people limitations. Other countries have so-called "electronic fences', to notify the authorities if the areas move out of the quarantine.

The US and UK have also talked to tech companies, what you can do. But civil liberties advocates could be introduced concerned the monitoring instruments, to help you control a virus, But then remain in place or be used by a country for political control.

It will also be necessary for a different set of skills for those who analyze intelligence. Health experts need to sit in addition to military experts to process and write reports based on what is coming and get them on the policy, But they are careful to be 'securitized', The Other parts of The State .

An important question for analysts at The Moment is how far The Virus act undermines the ability of governments and their military, and Who Else could you use the.

There were already signs of The Intelligence of the world is in motion. Israel's foreign intelligence service, the Mossad, allegedly carried out to bring an operation than 100,000 test kits from abroad, even if you may have been missing important parts.

Meanwhile, the country ' s domestic security agency, Shin Bet began to use cell phone to keep track of data for those who may come in contact with The Virus to warn you.

In the United States, in the meantime, the secret services of a number of classified briefings for decision-makers in January and February about the dangers of coronavirus based on what it could anything from China. However, it is also reported that this is only a little influence with the White house.

This is a reminder of something secret known services - But it is good for intelligence, it does not matter whether the people hear at The Top .
