The importance of open source intelligence in national security
With the end of the Cold War and globalization, the threats facing the country are
not only traditional security issues, but information-centered cyber warfare, a
non-traditional security threat, and all countries in the world are preparing for
cyber warfare. In the face of traditional security threats, secret intelligence can
play a major role, while in the face of non-traditional security problems, open
source intelligence can play its unique role.
In the case of increasing
non-traditional security threats, security threats come from all over the world. No
single country can achieve global coverage with espionage and covert means.
With
the advent of the Internet era and the continuous deepening of globalization, the
advantages of open source intelligence have gradually become prominent, and its
status in national security intelligence work has continued to rise, becoming an
important part of national security intelligence.
In the Internet age, what
is really scary is not the real turmoil, but the information explosion and cyber
violence on the Internet. Due to the anonymity and concealment of speaking in
cyberspace, the low cost of crime, and the wide range of influence, the Internet is
extremely easy to become a place where crime and violence breed. Therefore, timely
and accurate grasp of network information, accurate analysis and judgment, and the
formulation of scientific and effective relevant policies are extremely important
for maintaining social stability and ensuring national security.
Therefore,
it is necessary to make full use of open source intelligence and data mining
technology to conduct timely and effective tracking and monitoring of social
dynamics and trends reflected on the Internet, and timely early warning analysis.
