About
this Workshop:
Homeland Security – the protection of the full spectrum of our society – requires an unprecedented level of intelligence collection, processing, analysis and sharing across all levels of government and the private sector. The historic Homeland Security Bill and creation of the Department of Homeland Security introduced new organizational, procedural and technical challenges to coordinate people, processes and technologies to share information and coordinate intelligence and law enforcement as never before. The needs to assure constitutionally protected privacy, to protect information, while assuring anticipatory analysis and warning pose ongoing challenges. Spanning federal foreign and domestic intelligence to state and local law enforcement, Homeland Security intelligence teams must provide extraordinary breadth of coverage and depth of understanding to understand, anticipate and deter threats; they must respond to the needs of policy makers, warning officers, crisis managers, and first responders.
This unique workshop will help you explore the emerging intelligence requirements, organizational and operations to conduct Homeland Security intelligence activities, surveying the legal and information requirements demanded by Congress, and the operational implementation across intelligence and law enforcement. Focusing on practical implementation, the Homeland Security Intelligence Workshop provides a strong introduction to the methodologies of collection, processing and analysis. It also shows you how these requirements can be practically achieved at the federal, state and local levels in terms of operations (e.g. information sharing mechanisms and intelligence fusion centers) and technology implementations. You will examine the processes of information sharing, intelligence and warning, cross-organization collaboration, and intelligence dissemination. The operational (people and processes), systems (networked infrastructure) and technical (standards, and technologies) perspectives of the Homeland Security intelligence architecture are described. You will also discuss future directions in the emerging threat and in the development of technologies to support Homeland Security.
You will address…
• What policy and technology challenges are posed by the needs for Homeland Security intelligence? What are the alternative positions on these issues?
• How do Homeland Security Intelligence requirements drive the implementation of planning, direction, collection, processing-analysis, and reporting? What new approaches are available for collection, processing, collaboration, analysis and dissemination?
• How do Homeland Security Intelligence needs affect current and future plans and initiatives in Federal, state and local intelligence and law enforcement organizations and systems?
In addition to the course materials, you will receive a CD containing the complete course notes and a digital reference library of over 40 key reference documents on intelligence for homeland security, organized by the outline of the workshop.
What You Will Learn:
• How are U.S. Strategies in Homeland Security influencing current and future plans and initiatives in federal, state and local intelligence operations and systems?
• What does the Homeland Security intelligence architecture look like? What information sharing processes and systems are required, and how are they being implemented and integrated? What information tools will analysts, crisis managers, and first responders require?
• What resources are being allocated for intelligence needs? Who conducts the operations, performs the R&D, and who will implement and operate them?
• How are the current intelligence operations performed? What are the practical sources, collection and analysis methods and how are they implemented?
• What new technologies are being developed to achieve the necessary capabilities for intelligence collection, sharing, processing, analysis and dissemination?
• PLUS, A review of over 20 current Homeland Security related intelligence activities across the Intelligence Community, ODNI, DoD, DoJ, State, the ISACs, DARPA, IARPA and others.
