Introduction
An intelligence agency is a federal agency entitled to data collection evaluation and manipulation in favor of law enforcement, defense forces, national security, and foreign relations organs.[1].The establishment of a stable and robust security system has become the primary objective of every nation after World War 2. It became clear that security was a driving factor of development, and shortly after the war, more resources were channeled towards financing of war technology research. The amount of arsenal and expertise that a military possessed became the bragging rights of superpower nations and each was trying to outsmart the other. The research's primary purpose is to show the similarities and differences of the foreign intelligence organizations in line with the threats they cause to the United States.
Country Causing Greatest Threat
China possesses the greatest and a long-term threat to the U.S. not only to its national security but also to its economy, which is evident from Christopher Wray's speech. He is the director of an origination referred to as the bureau of investigation.[2]. China has gone to great lengths to ensure it becomes the world's superpower. It is actively involved in scrupulous acts like data hacking, economic espionage, theft practices, corruption, and infiltration.
Similarities and Differences of the Intelligent Disciplines
Human intelligence involves gathering information from human-related sources. The data is obtained through interviews of individuals involved in various security activities.
