Chapter 1
Methodology
The research has been conducted to analyse “Security and Privacy in intelligence assistance” and
various journals have been considered for analysing the impact of continuous surveillance. The most
important topic of discussion is the development of an advanced cyber-security system which can be
developed jointly by the government and private firms. The research also contains the possible
hindrances of working in partnership with the government.
The structure that is followed to perform the research is; the research statement is prepared and the
suitable research journals have been selected. After that, the main issues are identified and the possible
results of quantitative analysis have been done. The results have been analysed and the methods that can
be used has been justified by evaluating its benefits and limitations. At the last section, the framework
of the research has been illustrated and suitable explanation has been provided.
