National intelligence agencies have long adjusted to opportunities and threats from new technologies. From spy planes and satellites to the internet, they have created structures, concepts, and practices to best apply these new capabilities. But recent technological developments are different in kind. Increasingly affordable to non-governmental actors, they are powerful enough to overwhelm and marginalise much of what agencies do. So far, the large intelligence agencies have been too slow to recognise the need for transformation. They believe they can work emerging technologies into the current paradigm just as they have with other advances. Arguing that only with a new paradigm can they take up this new technological challenge, the book explores this fast-developing world for intelligence agencies and offers a path for maintaining their effectiveness and centrality.
