Conclusion
The optimism of early advocates that big data would be a ‘new frontier’ (Manyika et al. 2011) and revolutionise society (Mayer-Schönberger & Cukier 2014) has in fact translated to transformation of aspects of the national security sector, although often not in the ways originally anticipated. National security has been disrupted by the technological phenomenon of big data. The book sets out how these transformations range from challenging the very raison d’être of intelligence (Hershkovitz 2019) to the daily practices of intelligence practitioners, to the way intelligence agencies work as a community and the relationships they have with society as a whole.
