Since 9/11, the intelligence and security profession has grown dramatically, particularly in the areas of terrorism and counter-terrorism studies. Now, with growing cyber threats, transnational crimes and changes in political dynamics, the field of intelligence and global security is more challenging and rewarding than ever.
