Summary/Abstract: The intelligence field is currently undergoing a structural reform and transformation process, which is broadly entitled by experts as a revolution in intelligence affairs (RIA). Among various other changes, we also encounter an increased concern for finding novel instruments of processing information, which can be employed by intelligence organizations for preventing emerging risks and threats. This paper focuses on one such tool, namely early-warning systems and tries to asses whether it would prove an efficient instrument in preventing extremist actions. Additionally, the study attempts to identify the main advantages and disadvantages of developing such a system inside an intelligence organization both from the point of view of information accuracy and of human and logistic resources deployed
