Abstract:
Intelligence analysts are forced to face the most diverse challenges generated by
the security environment they analyze, so they must constantly update methodologies
and analytical techniques used to meet beneficiaries’ needs.
On the other hand, the development of technological and scientific spectrum
generally brings methodological development, offering a wide range of options for
researchers and analysts in their respective fields.
From this point of view, we can talk about the temptation of novelty and
accessibility of some analysis methods and techniques that can be borrowed and
implemented in the field of intelligence analysis.
In this regard, this study proposes a tool for assessing the methods and
analytical techniques developed in the form of an evaluation matrix, tested on a number
of risk analysis methods and techniques suitable to be applied in intelligence analysis.
Keywords: intelligence analysis, analytical techniques, assessing the methods,
evaluation matrix
