Sir David Omand, former Director of GCHQ, and later Security and Intelligence Co-ordinator in the Cabinet Office, has just published How Spies Think: Ten Lessons in Intelligence.
In this seminar he is joined by Ciaran Martin, Chief Executive of the National Cyber Security Centre 2016-2020, to discuss spycraft, how raw intelligence is analysed, and how intelligence officers then use that information – often contradictory or incomplete – to build the most accurate possible image of the world. The ways of thinking used in intelligence can also help ordinary citizens sort fact from fiction in their everyday lives.
