But while technology and social media have been a boon for intelligence-gathering, it&#8217;s a fine line between steady flow and avalanche in the era of the data deluge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open sources of information now are critical in intelligence operations. However, they require a delicate balance in a world that, while more demanding of transparency than ever, still requires security classifications and secrecy in intelligence for meticulously executed missions with global consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;When I grew up in this [intelligence] business, we operated in a closed&#8221; environment, said Robert Cardillo, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency director. &#8220;Today, while much of that is very necessary for key sets of our partners [such as] policy and military planning, more and more of the demand signal is to take that success into the open. I mean in some ways [we need] to provide reassurance to the people that fund us, the taxpayers, that they&#8217;re getting a return on their investment.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cardillo spoke Sept. 10 at the Intelligence and National Security Summit in Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those competing factors are resulting in a rapidly changing way of doing things in intelligence \u2014\u00a0changes that are amplified by evolving threats, adversaries and capabilities, and unprecedented public scrutiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today the intelligence community operates &#8220;in an environment where what I would call traditional sources now have the added benefit of social media \u2026 [CIA Director John Brennan] has just elevated his open-source enterprise within his agency,&#8221; Cardillo said. &#8220;And while that holds great potential, it does also hold the potential for chaos \u2014\u00a0analytic chaos in the sense that if we can&#8217;t create coherence around the noise for ourselves and our customers, we could be overwhelmed by it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technology that helps create<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">with creating<\/span> that coherence is what NGA and the rest of the intelligence community<span class=\"rte rte-comment\"> really<\/span> need from industry in order to filter and sift through the noise and detect signals of interest, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Whereas I once learned how to hunt imagery, because that&#8217;s what you had to do and you spent a lot of time on a hunt, today it&#8217;s more of a filtering-gathering-seeking-understanding-creating sense out of that noise,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The intelligence community needs help sifting through the noise of open-source
