Abstract

This chapter aims to examine the impact of cyber security on intelligence practice, revealing two broad themes; first, that the specific actions and adaptation from intelligence communities are acutely reflective of broader socio-technological transformations presented by the wider information revolution. Second, that the actions taken by intelligence agencies carry significant political repercussions for the future of cyber security itself. In this vein, the chapter will show that in numerous ways the actions taken by intelligence agencies to remain effective instruments of national security actively contribute to exacerbated political fragmentation and an arguable state of increased and increasing cyber insecurity.
