Fostering Innovation in the Intelligence Community: Scientifically-Informed Solutions to Combat a Dynamic Threat Environment

商品描述

In response to the increasingly ubiquitous, asynchronous, and pervasive use of cyber technology in everyday life, unique threats to cybersecurity (CS) have emerged requiring innovative and systemic solutions. Of the potential threats, Ubiquitous Technical Surveillance (UTS) presents one of the most acute generalized vulnerabilities facing the broader Intelligence Community (IC), Department of Defense (DoD), and United States Government. While security systems and networks have attempted to adapt to meet these evolving threats, internal organizational structures, culture, and human behavior often lag behind due to the inherent challenges in changing these dynamic variables. It is crucial that scientific disciplines identify systemic and innovative behavioral countermeasures that are informed by sub-disciplines of the psychology and CS literature. Innovative strategies involve collaboration amongst experts from the domains of social psychology, game theory, Bayesian statistics, andthe IC, which will be discussed in-depth. A special issue that pulls from cross-disciplinary professionals will have a broad impact for the IC and DOD eliciting wide readership and spurring needed innovation.___________________________________________________________________"Cultivating a culture of innovation, though difficult, is important for any enduring organization. It's downright essential for the US Intelligence Community, which must stay one step ahead of adversaries on surveillance technologies and tradecraft to be effective. This collection of articles brings together insightful research and analysis from diverse domains, moving us closer to the deeper appreciation of innovation and culture that is so urgently needed."David Priess, Ph.D., former Central Intelligence Agency officer and author, The President's Book of Secrets

隨著網路科技在日常生活中越來越普遍、非同步且無所不在，獨特的網路安全威脅（CS）隨之出現，這些威脅需要創新且系統性的解決方案。在所有潛在威脅中，無所不在的技術監控（UTS）是面對更廣泛的情報社群（IC）、國防部（DoD）和美國政府所面臨的最嚴重的普遍脆弱性之一。儘管安全系統和網路已試圖適應這些不斷演變的威脅，但由於改變這些動態變數的固有挑戰，內部組織結構、文化和人類行為往往滯後。科學領域必須識別出系統性和創新的行為對策，這些對策應基於心理學和網路安全文獻的子學科。創新策略涉及社會心理學、博弈論、貝葉斯統計和情報社群等領域的專家之間的合作，這將深入探討。跨學科專業人士的特刊將對情報社群和國防部產生廣泛影響，吸引廣泛讀者並激發所需的創新。

培養創新文化雖然困難，但對於任何持久的組織來說都是重要的。對於美國情報社群來說，這更是至關重要，因為他們必須在監控技術和情報手段上始終領先於對手，才能有效運作。這組文章匯集了來自不同領域的深刻研究和分析，使我們更接近對創新和文化的深刻理解，而這正是當前急需的。
