Statement for the Record, Worldwide Threat Assessment of the US Intelligence Community, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, James R. Clapper, Director of National Intelligence, March 12, 2013
This is the Statement for the Record of James R. Clapper, Director of National Intelligence, and was submitted to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on March 12, 2013. "This year, in both content and organization, this statement illustrates how quickly and radically the world--and our threat environment--are changing. This environment is demanding reevaluations of the way we do business, expanding our analytic envelope, and altering the vocabulary of intelligence. Threats are more diverse, interconnected, and viral than at any time in history. Attacks, which might involve cyber and financial weapons, can be deniable and unattributable. Destruction can be invisible, latent, and progressive. We now monitor shifts in human geography, climate, disease, and competition for natural resources because they fuel tensions and conflicts. Local events that might seem irrelevant are more likely to affect US national security in accelerated time frames. In this threat environment, the importance and urgency of intelligence integration cannot be overstated. Our progress cannot stop. The Intelligence Community must continue to promote collaboration among experts in every field, from the political and social sciences to natural sciences, medicine, military issues, and space. Collectors and analysts need vision across disciplines to understand how and why developments--and both state and unaffiliated actors--can spark sudden changes with international implications."

AIM Initiative: A Strategy for Augmenting Intelligence Using Machines
"The pace at which data are generated, whether by collection or publically available information (PAI), is increasing exponentially and long ago exceeded our collective ability to understand it or to find the most relevant data with which to make analytic judgments. AIM AAA technologies (Artificial intelligence, process Automation, and IC [Intelligence Community] officer Augmentation) as key transformative elements are crucial for future mission success and efficiency. This document outlines how the IC will incorporate AIM capabilities in a manner that resolves key IC legal, policy, cultural, technical, and structural challenges while producing optimally effective analytic and operational contributions to the intelligence mission."

White Paper on the Key Challenges in Cyber Threat Intelligence: Explaining the 'See it, Sense it, Share it, Use it' Approach to Thinking About Cyber Intelligence
"We spend considerable time and effort producing cyber threat intelligence. Once a monopoly of government, the private sector as well is now actively producing and consuming 'actionable' cyber threat intelligence. The National Intelligence Manager for Cyber is charged with integrating this activity within the US Intelligence Community and of looking strategically for ways to improve the quantity, quality, and impact of cyber intelligence. As part of this dialogue within Government, we created this graphic and model as a simple way to describe the cyber threat intelligence process and think about ways to improve our performance."

Examination of the Adjudicative Guidelines, Appendix B, Part 1: Foundations for Literature Review of the Adjudicative Guidelines
"This project has two overarching purposes. The first is to investigate and provide an
evaluative summary of the non-classified research literature about the linkage between the 13
Adjudicative Guidelines used as the bases for security clearance decisions and subsequent
security violation behavior (SVB) and security citizenship behavior (SCB). The second is to
offer recommendations, based on the evaluative summary of the research literature, about

"The Adjudicative Guidelines Literature Review Project evaluated the empirical and
conceptual evidence available in the social science research literature about the likely
effectiveness of the Adjudicative Guidelines for making security clearance decisions. This
White Paper reports all recommendations from the Literature Review Project.
Of the 13 Adjudicative Guidelines, two were excluded from this literature review, [K.]
Handling Protected Information and [E.] Personal Conduct. These latter two Guidelines were
excluded because the policy-based justification for their use is self-evident.
Four White Papers were produced, each organized around a cluster of Guidelines sharing
common elements."

Background to 'Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent US Elections': The Analytic Process and Cyber Incident Attribution
"'Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent US Elections' is a declassified version of a highly classified assessment that has been provided to the President and to recipients approved by the
President. [1] The Intelligence Community rarely can publicly reveal the full extent of its knowledge or the precise bases for its assessments, as the release of such information would reveal sensitive sources or methods and imperil the ability to collect critical foreign intelligence in the future. [2] Thus, while the conclusions in the report are all reflected in the classified assessment, the declassified report does not and cannot include the full supporting information, including specific intelligence and sources and methods. [...] This report includes an analytic assessment drafted and coordinated among The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and The National Security Agency (NSA), which draws on intelligence information collected and disseminated by those three agencies. It covers the motivation and scope of Moscow's intentions regarding US elections and Moscow's use of cyber tools and media campaigns to influence US public opinion. The assessment focuses on activities aimed at the 2016 US presidential election and draws on our understanding of previous Russian influence operations. When we use the term 'we' it refers to an assessment by all three agencies."
