intel agencies

Intelligence agencies are organizations that gather, analyze, and interpret information related to national security, threats, and international affairs. They collect data through various means—such as surveillance, human sources, and electronic interception—and assess risks to help governments make informed decisions. Their roles include preventing crime, espionage, terrorism, and other threats, often operating in secrecy to protect the country's interests. Key examples include the CIA in the United States and MI6 in the United Kingdom. These agencies work to ensure safety and security by providing strategic insights while managing complex, sensitive information.
