<p>Technological advancement changed the way everything is being done, providing extraordinary benefits and low costs. People and governments are increasingly adopting new technologies to achieve better performance and financial savings. However, those benefits do not come at no cost; technological advancements (such as Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Internet of Things,..etc) involve several security challenges that may expose countriesâ€™ national securities. The touchstone in this is data. Data has always been central to national security throughout different historical periods. Intelligence agenciesâ€™ core of work has always been data; however, the mechanisms of getting and securing data evolved throughout history.
