UNDERSTANDING INTELLIGENCE

Eye Spy Intelligence Magazine & Spy-Ops Continuing Education Programme

Eye Spy Intelligence Magazine is pleased to announce a unique programme that will assist readers and persons working in the intelligence, security, defence and law enforcement professions to expand their knowledge and skill base. The material and forthcoming series has been developed through a cooperative agreement between Eye Spy Intelligence Magazine, Kevin Colman's Technolytics Institute, an executive technology think-tank, and Spy-Ops, an organisation dedicated to continuing education through practical knowledge.

BACKGROUND TO THE COURSE ESSENTIAL READING

Key challenges facing the intelligence industry today require professionals to continuously update their knowledge and skills. The global war on terror, corporate espionage, identity theft and domestic violence, just to name a few, are real threats facing our cities and corporations. There are several major factors combined with these threats that influence the requirements for new and updated information including:

€ the increasing pace of technological change,
€ the increased pace of political change,
€ the increased pace of social change, and
€ the increased pace of economic change.

Professional development demonstrates your commitment to ensure that your knowledge and skills are relevant and up to date. Some people use continuing education to stay current in their present job; others use continuing education to gain promotions or recognition within their industry. What ever your reason, it is critical for individuals in the intelligence, security, protection and defence industries to continue to grow and develop professionally.

Toward that end, our combined research has identified sixteen topical areas listed below that will touch on most, if not all, of the topics germane to the intelligence industry. The information will be presented in a continuing education brief accompanied by an exam in future issues of Eye Spy. The topics for the first five of 16 briefs are:

EYE SPY ISSUE 35

Forensics

 

The professional needs a clear understanding of forensic techniques, or the use of science and technology to investigate and establish facts. Forensics techniques are not just used by police agencies but also by intelligence, security and defence personnel.

 

EYE SPY ISSUE 36

Money Laundering

The professional must understand electronic and offshore banking. This knowledge is required to trace funds, discover money laundering operations and other financial transaction activities involved in investigations. A bank account that is accessible from any worldwide location allows the operative to have quick access to funds in case of need. A professional should be knowledgeable in the techniques used to acquire such bank accounts and funds.

 

 

 

 

EYE SPY ISSUE 37

Electronic Footprints

The professional must have the ability to break into computer systems for the purpose of retrieving confidential information. This is a commonly used skill that is a critical part of espionage, especially in a time where computers are predominantly used to store information. One of the primary functions of an intelligence agency is using data that is processed into information and that is further analysed and turned into knowledge.
