Application of the Foundations of the Knowledge Production Methodology to Cyber Intelligence

Abstract

Intelligence and Cyber Defense employ data originating from cyberspace to achieve their objectives. Although the Doctrine of Intelligence Activity provides general foundations, the production of knowledge from cyber sources requires further development. The Cyber Data Evaluation Technique must be expanded beyond its aspects originally developed for human sources. To this end, the lessons learned from Cybersecurity are useful and valuable. The Knowledge Production Methodology employed for Cyber Intelligence, making use of specific techniques, procedures, and tools, is essential for enabling the development of Artificial Intelligence applications. Finally, the training of human resources must evolve, so that more components of the Brazilian Intelligence System may contribute to the production of cyber knowledge.
