Abstract
This century has come with different types of challenges in security matters that
set a new security agenda for multiple fields, including intelligence. We all live in a
growingly complex IT ecosystem, where the availability of the technology is pushed to
lower levels, the security of information is fragile, and the citizens change the ways they
communicate with one another and with states and governments. The technology-
related change is affecting the intelligence agencies ability to deal with some of the most
important threats, ranging or coming from the cyber arena, hybrid warfare, large scale
migration flows, terrorism, counterespionage and other. Tackling these phenomena is
not an easy task for the intelligence field requiring a comprehensive and reinforced
cooperative approach, mutual support and assistance, doubled by the responsibility at
state levels in decision making.
Keywords: challenges, gaps, security agenda, technology, innovation, way
forward.
