New article about how the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO)’s mandate to counter foreign interference has changed over the decades, and what that tells us about the factors that shape intelligence reform: https://t.co/OWhSC4b1Mh
#Germany's coalition government planning a major overhaul of its intelligence services — the #BND (foreign intelligence) and the Verfassungsschutz (#BfV, domestic intelligence).
- The Interior Ministry wants to move the BND and BfV beyond pure information gathering and analysis.
- Under the new draft plan, the agencies would receive active operational powers, including the ability to sabotage, conduct cyber operations, disrupt infrastructure, spread targeted disinformation/deception, and "hack back" or strike against adversaries — both at home and abroad.
- Germany already runs 19 intelligence agencies (federal BND, BfV, MAD + 16 state-level BfV offices), but they have long had far fewer offensive capabilities than their international peers.
- This reform would mark a genuine “Zeitenwende” (turning point) for German intelligence and reflects a broader shift in German security policy since #Russia’s invasion of #Ukraine.
- It aims to counter sabotage, espionage, hybrid threats (especially from Russia, but also China and others), cyber attacks, and infrastructure risks more aggressively.
- It would also reduce heavy reliance on partners like the CIA in a more contested world.
- If passed, this would be one of the most significant upgrades to secret service authorities in modern German history.

"In his study of the use of proxy forces in war, Dr. Andrew Peek begins to unpack the reasons why American power did not translate into American success on the battlefield. In an era of new and unattributable forms of war—cyberattacks, hybrid and shadow attacks, and disinformation—Peek’s analysis reveals how our adversaries are shaping the battlefield to their own advantage. Understanding proxy war, learning from it, and even mastering the same tactics is necessary and urgent for America’s national security leaders." —Stephen E. Biegun, 20th United States Deputy Secretary of State https://t.co/rB6jGSc4Wo

Spy satellites and LEO comms aren’t sci-fi anymore. They help protect troops, agencies, and Americans from foreign threats. But if adversaries hack the link, the advantage flips fast. #NSA#CyberSecurity#Space
