INTELLIGENCE IN THE KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY Bucharest, October 18-19, 2018

Summary/Abstract: The XXIV edition of the Intelligence in the Knowledge Society conference takes places in a highly dynamic international context, which challenges both intelligence organizations, as well as intelligence and security theorists and researchers. The hybrid nature of the current conflict, which is waged through both military and non-military means such as diplomatic, economic, cyber and information operations poses new problems for old concepts. The existence of fake news and manipulation demands that state and supra-national institutions adopt policies to counter misinformation, while intelligence agencies are forced to improve their analysis capabilities to attribute attacks which might seem uncoordinated. Furthermore, the Cambridge Analytica revelations showed, once again, the power of technology and of open source information, which, if properly processed and exploited, can represent both a useful intelligence asset and a threat to individual privacy.
