Abstract

Intelligence has been one of the first professions in the World existence, due to the human nature of permanent desire of progress and possession. Its evolution has been marked by various developments, out of which technology seems to have the greatest impact. While advanced technology has made the overall cycle of life faster and better, it has also diversified the challenges to many professions, intelligence being one of them. Adapting to the ever evolving realities, intelligence has to transform the challenges in opportunities and advance the national interests of security at national and international levels.
