| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) applies a variation of the intelligence cycle - the process of planning, collecting, processing, analysis, and dissemination of information characteristic of intelligence agencies - to mitigate the risk of terrorist attack and respond to national security breaches. The intelligence cycle helps DHS encourage voluntary security measures, serve its customers, and avoid economic disruption, but the Department's program setbacks and failures illustrate the difficulty of applying the intelligence model to the needs of homeland security. The Department's particular means of producing intelligence and information challenge the conventional conception and definitions of the intelligence cycle. |
