The terrorist organization Daesh published an article entitled "Security Education" in Al-Naba' newspaper issued by the terrorist organization Daesh in number (555), which is a recommendation to its defeated terrorist supporters in the arenas of intelligence work of various categories and their terrorist and criminal behavior.
And here we find that the discourse of dismantling these toxic ideas needs to build a modern perspective parallel to this discourse establishes a strategic path in the culture of the homeland and the state and the intelligence duty to combat terrorism by building a modern approach to build the element of national intelligence and build a vision to confront these misguided, terrorist and toxic ideas that try to establish a path to try to stay in the field of military and security action, but the search for these ideas and simulate them through analysis and dismantling and devise modern ideas that work to destroy the capabilities of terrorism and terrorist organizations .
And therefore, modern methods in the intelligence sector are working to address them through a large and deep intellectual package built originally on the legacy of the Iraqi intelligence institution in the field of counter-terrorism, and is represented by the formulation of a professional and professional national discourse that serves the personnel of the intelligence and counter-terrorism services, with a focus on the principles of national security, the rule of law, human rights, and intelligence professionalism.
And here we will focus on the modern points in the counter-terrorism operations through the national intelligence effort in each country facing the challenge of terrorism, including Iraq and working to combat it comprehensively through security measures, intelligence and economic development .
1. Security is an institutional culture that begins from the first day of working in the field of intelligence
The commitment to security procedures and professional discipline is not limited to the intelligence work environment, but rather becomes a permanent behavior that accompanies the member in all his activities, in order to preserve his personal security, the security of the intelligence institution, and the safety of operations and their efficient management.
2. Security is the responsibility of all parties in the State
Security is not the responsibility of the security and defense sector alone, but it is a professional duty that falls on all employees of the government apparatus, whether civilian or military. Security failure begins when the individual neglects to apply the rules of secrecy, discipline, and reporting security risks in the responsibility sector, so the security culture must be part of the daily civilian or military job performance of all employees of the state and its government apparatus.
3. Security training is an ongoing process
The modern security environment requires continuous development of personal skills, knowledge and security sciences through periodic training in the field of counter-terrorism as a strategic priority in the security and defense sector, keeping pace with emerging threats, and learning from lessons learned, to ensure the readiness of personnel to deal with changing challenges in the fields of intelligence and counter-terrorism, and this is done through the development of military, intelligence and security education in the field of counter-terrorism.
4. The human element is the basic pillar
The human element in the intelligence apparatus, especially the security apparatus and the military formation, remains the most important asset of the intelligence work, so investing in its rehabilitation, developing its skills, and enhancing its integrity and security awareness is the basis for the success of operations and achieving the goals of the institution efficiently and professionally, and this must be worked on, especially since the individual's integrity and training are part of the sobriety of institutions on the one hand and a future investment in the human element in the intelligence sector on the other hand, and this makes us remember the words of the chiefs of staff of the armies that consider and share in one speech that the human element is the main pillar, it is the eye, the weapon and the deterrent force of terrorism and terrorist organizations, and therefore that investing in the human element intelligence is a maintenance of the future, a protection of the state and a real provision of resources for a stable life for both society and the state .
5. Prevention is better than cure
Security education aims to prevent breaches and threats before they occur, and this must start from the first day of training the intelligence element, a soldier, officer or associate, in order to improve his skills and protect him from the evils of the enemy and life through psychological immunization programs and enhance awareness of risks, adherence to preventive security procedures, rules of work and engagement, and security protocol in risk and crisis management, and the protection of information and resources, to ensure the continuity of intelligence work and the achievement of institutional security, which is one of the basic pillars of the state and its intelligence apparatus.
6. Security areas are multiple and integrated
The institutes for developing intelligence work in the ministries and security agencies must provide initial, intermediate, and advanced courses in the fields of intelligence science to develop the capabilities of the member in building the intelligence personality in terms of skills and areas of work through training in a wide range of fields, including:
Personal security.
information security.
Cybersecurity.
Communications security.
field security.
security of installations.
Document security.
risk management.
logistics security.
Security of human resources.
And this path in intelligence work requires familiarity with these areas and their application according to the best professional practices, in order to qualify the personnel of the intelligence and counter-terrorism services, and thus the strategic path of the security and defense sector in general and the intelligence sector in particular requires increasing the capacity of intelligence readiness and modernizing capabilities and capabilities, and this will only be achieved through a major revolution in intelligence affairs in order to simulate the danger and terrorist threats on the one hand and the intelligence race through preemptive and abortive actions that will end the toxic ideas of terrorist organizations .
