Counterintelligence and its Primary Objectives

RESPONSE

Part 1:
The counterintelligence primary objective aim towards protecting any of the intelligence
program against opposition intelligence services. It involves activities that are conducted for
countering espionage, or assassinations (Harrison & Zaksauskienė, 2016). At a national level, the
counterintelligence has been associated to the defensive analysis which is about looking for the
vulnerabilities in one’s organization, in regard to the risks and benefits. Apart from this,
Counterintelligence Force Protection Source Operations (CFSO) are for human source operations
that have been conducted abroad with intention to fill up the gap in the national level coverage. It
is mainly for the protection from any terrorism (Stech & Heckman, 2018).
The mission of the Counterintelligence is to properly equip the Homeland Security Enterprise
with the timely intelligence and relevant information that is needed to keep the Homeland
completely safe and resilient. With this, there is a need to focus on delivering counterintelligence
to state, local, tribal and other territorial partners. There have been geographical boundaries that
involves monitoring and searching of programs which needs to plan about the different roles,
missions and responsibilities (Duvenage, Sithole & Von Solms, 2017). There are different
approaches that are required for gathering information and sharing it. The Homeland Security
encompasses the defense, and foreign intelligence, with law enforcement communities that
includes public information such as the broadcast of real time news.

prolific criminals (Regan & Monahan, 2014). The intelligence led policing helps in providing
with public safety measures that includes the trends of criminal activity and increased
information sharing. The process involves identifying data and collecting the raw data which is
for producing intelligence products. The processing and collation also involves the evaluation of
validity and reliability measures that are for separating information from intelligence.
