Information Sharing, Dot Connecting and Intelligence Failures: Revisiting Conventional Wisdom By Russell Travers Deputy Director, Information Sharing and Knowledge Development National Counterterrorism Center This paper, written in August 2009, was submitted to the Director of National Intelligence 2009 Galileo Awards Program. The Galileo Awards Program is an annual Intelligence Community-wide competition designed to encourage and recognize innovative workforce ideas that address current challenges and help shape the future of U.S. Intelligence. All statements of fact, opinion, or analysis expressed are those of the author and do not reflect the official positions or views of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) or any other U.S. Government agency. Nothing in the contents should be construed as implying U.S. Government or NCTC endorsement of the author’s views. This material has been reviewed to prevent the disclosure of classified information. The year is 2014. The Intelligence Community is ten years into its efforts to implement the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act (IRTPA). While change has been evident on many fronts, nothing was more closely identified with intelligence reform than information sharing; ever since the 9/11 Commission declared that “the biggest impediment to all-source analysis – to a greater likelihood of connecting the dots – is the human or systemic resistance to sharing information”1, the two had been inextricably linked. And while we were pushing more electrons than ever before, dissatisfaction continued: in 2014, as in 2009, no analyst in the IC had effective access to all information; analysts in many parts of the Community complained that they couldn’t get operational traffic or law enforcement information; we had little ability to do large scale processing of foreign and domestic data sets; our non Federal partners were still dissatisfied with the quality of information sharing. A dizzying array of directives had been issued. Arbitration procedures had been established. And yet organizations weren’t getting the information they claimed to “need.” Legitimate issues coexisted with tripe. According to the critics, we still couldn’t connect those dots. The reality, however, was far more complex: the only question was whether it took a major intelligence failure to realize that fact. This is the path we’re on. We will continue to hear claims that information sharing has “barely improved since 9/11.” Such hyperbole is unmitigated nonsense. The robust sharing of information between and among the key organizations has undoubtedly contributed to the fact that we haven’t suffered a major attack. And by any objective standard, the level of sharing 1 The 9/11 Commission Report: Final Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States; U.S. Government Print.

By now you should have a strong understanding of the history of intelligence in the U.S.; how the intelligence community functions; how intelligence is produced; and the role of local, state and the federal governments in intelligence activities. But, you may still be wondering where does all the information that these entities collect actually come from. And, just as importantly, how is this information obtained. In lesson three, we learned about the intelligence process and used the Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA’s) five-phase cycle to examine the various steps. As you recall, in the process, phase two is the collection phase. We briefly also identified and defined the six basic sources of information. These are referred to as “intelligence collection disciples” or the “INTs” 1. Human Intelligence (HUMINT) 2. Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) derived from all communications intelligence (COMINT), electronic intelligence (ELINT), or foreign instrumentation signals intelligence (FISINT). 3. Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) 4. Measurement and Signatures Intelligence (MASINT) 5. Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) 6. Geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) These six disciplines are the sources of all the information that is collected to produce intelligence products. Remember, it is a bit of a misperception that secret “movie-like” missions collect all information. While it is true that some is indeed collected in the more classic “spy” type way; a great deal of information is collected by looking at sources that everyone can access. For the purposes of this class, we will use the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI’s) explanations of the first five INTs, which include a high level discussion of which members of the IC use the those INTs. The description of the last INT, GEOINT, remains the same as lesson three and is provided by the CIA. Human Intelligence (HUMINT) is the collection of information from human sources. The collection may be done openly. For example: when FBI agents interview witnesses or suspects, or it may be done through clandestine or covert means (espionage). Within the United States, HUMINT collection is the FBI’s responsibility. Beyond U.S. borders, HUMINT is generally collected by the CIA, but also by other U.S. components abroad. Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) refers to electronic transmissions that can be collected by ships, planes, ground sites, or satellites. Communications Intelligence (COMINT) is a type of SIGINT and refers to the.

What are some of the challenges the intelligence community faces in supporting the Homeland Security enterprise (such as the balance of civil liberties and security)? Provide evidence from the weekly readings to support your arguments via APA parenthetical citations. Other sources (if used at all) must be subordinate to your understanding of the readings presented in the class. Instructions: Your initial post should be at least 350 words. Lesson Introduction Earlier in this class, you explored several misperceptions about the field of intelligence. Movies and popular literature, along with personal experiences, all contribute to these misunderstandings. A final misperception about intelligence is that intelligence is only gathered on actors outside the borders of the United States. However, an unfortunate reality is that threats to the United States do not all originate from outside the nation. In fact, many threats to this country come from within its borders. To guard against the full range of threats, the U.S. must engage in domestic intelligence activities and collect information and intelligence within the country. However, unlike many countries around the world, the U.S. does not have a dedicated domestic intelligence agency and the many approaches to collection are unique. There is also a strict need to preserve the civil liberties of United States citizens and maintain a critical balance between intelligence transparency and secrecy. Domestic Intelligence The United States is very unique in that it does not have a dedicated agency responsible for domestic intelligence. Instead, this mission is part of the overall goal of the IC and is implicitly and explicitly stated in the mission and objectives of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). As you learned in earlier lessons, ODNI was established by the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004. Within that act, very specific authorities were granted to the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) that directly support the gathering of domestic intelligence (ODNI 2015). Authority 1 Ensure that timely and objective national intelligence is provided to the President, the heads of departments and agencies of the Executive Branch, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and senior military commanders, and the Congress. Authority 2 Establish objectives and priorities for collection, analysis, production, and dissemination of national intelligence. Authority 3 Ensure maximum availability of and access to intelligence information within the Intelligence Community. Authority 4 Develop and ensure the execution of an annual budget for the National Intelligence program based on budgetary proposals provided by IC component organizations. Authority 5 Oversee coordination of relationships with the intelligence or security services of foreign governments and international organizations. Authority 6 Ensure the most accurate analysis of intelligence is derived f.

Cracking the Code of Emerging Social Media Communications

Scott Rickard

The 9/11 Commission Report concluded that the failure of the intelligence community (IC) to share information between agencies and levels of government lead to significant gaps in situational awareness. The terrorists exploited those gaps to plan and execute their attacks. Over the years since 9/11, in an effort to improve the nation’s ability to share information and intelligence, more than 70 fusion centers have been created at the local, regional, and state levels. These efforts have not been without considerable cost and concerns, such as privacy. The recession of 2008–09 and lack of major terrorist attacks on U.S. soil since 9/11 resulted in local and state leaders having to rethink their ability to provide ongoing investments in these centers. Your local leadership has requested your assistance in assessing the situation. Your assignment is to write a strategy memo of 850–1,100 words that addresses the major research questions listed below. You should utilize the course materials, Web resources, and the course articles provided as well as conduct your own research, including interviews if possible. Your final document should include an overview of the fusion center nearest to your place of residence. If you are unable to research your local fusion center, you should explore the information-sharing environment between agencies at your local level (again, local is defined at your discretion). Your conclusion should outline your recommendations for your fusion center based upon the resources provided, your research, and the answers to the questions below. Assignment Guidelines Address the following in 850–1,100 words: What local jurisdiction did you choose for this assignment? Does your local jurisdiction have or participate in a regional (e.g., major urban area or state-level) fusion center? If so, in what way? If not, what platforms (e.g., meetings, conference calls, or software/hardware solutions) are utilized by local HS practitioners to achieve information and intelligence sharing? What is the mission scope of your local fusion center (e.g., terrorism, all crimes, or all hazards)? How does the fusion center achieve that mission scope? How did it select their scope? Operationally, who is the lead agency for the fusion center? What other agencies provide direct support (e.g., funding and full- and part-time staff)? What disciplines are present? Is it operational (staffed) at all times? What are the funding sources for the fusion center? How are non-law enforcement agencies provided with information and intelligence? Does the fusion center have a written privacy policy? What types of products are produced, and to whom are they distributed? How are information and intelligence entered into the fusion center? How does the public enter information? How is the public made aware of its ability to report suspicious activity? Is the private sector engaged in any of the fusion center activities? What is the role of the fusion center dur.

Are you wondering why everyone is talking about the Flutterwave scandal? You’re not alone! It’s been in the news a lot. We’re going to tell you all about the Flutterwave Scandal in a way that’s easy to get. Keep reading, because we’re going to share the whole story with you. The company Flutterwave is headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States. In 2016, Iyinoluwa Aboyeji, Olugbenga Agboola, and Adeleke Adekoya established Flutterwave. It offers a payment infrastructure to international merchants and payment service providers throughout Africa. The company operates in various African countries including Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, South Africa, and others. They focus on digital payments, helping businesses accept and process payments on various channels like the web, mobile, ATM, and POS. Recently, they’ve been in the news due to allegations of misconduct within the company, which has affected their reputation and value. Flutterwave is an essential player in the African fintech landscape, aiming to drive growth for banks and businesses through digital payment solutions. The Flutterwave scandal involves allegations of misconduct and inappropriate behaviour towards female employees by the company’s co-founder and CEO, Olugbenga Agboola. Reports have surfaced from both current and former employees about bullying, intimidation, and sexual harassment at work. The allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards female employees at Flutterwave, specifically involving the CEO Olugbenga Agboola, were brought to public attention in April 2022.This was when Clara Wanjiku Odero, an ex-employee and current CEO of Credrails, published a Medium post and a series of tweets on April 4, 2022, accusing Flutterwave and Agboola of bullying. These allegations were part of a broader range of misconduct claims that surfaced around the same time The reasons behind the scandal are rooted in accusations of unethical behavior within the company. The allegations suggest a workplace culture that allowed for misconduct and failed to protect employees from harassment and intimidation. Specifically, the Flutterwave scandal refers to the series of events where the CEO was accused of engaging in improper conduct with female colleagues. This led to a broader investigation into the company’s practices and raised serious concerns about the fintech’s corporate governance. The scandal had significant repercussions, including a drop in the company’s stock price and a loss of trust among customers and partners. The trust that customers and investors had in Flutterwave was greatly damaged. People started to doubt the company’s integrity and whether their money and personal information were safe. Market Impact The scandal shook the entire fintech market. Flutterwave’s competitors saw this as an opportunity and started to attract customers who were leaving Flutterwave.
