War economic and political ostrich

Quoted by AFP in The Figaro.fr under the title " Putin encourages economic espionage," the Russian Prime Minister justified the use of "aid for special services" for the collection "intelligence techno-scientific "by the fact that, as do" intelligence services of many countries, "they can work" with significant legal sources.

other words, they would have us believe that " special services "are needed to collect the" technical-scientific information "without" necessarily violating the laws of other countries. "

AFP 18/12 / 2010

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, a former KGB today called on the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) to make economic espionage to help modernize Russia.

"There are different spheres of activity for intelligence: intelligence techno-scientific and political intelligence. Therefore, when we have goals of economic modernization, using special services is not enough, "he said, the agency Ria Novosti, in a television broadcast that will air tonight in Moscow.

"That does not mean that we must break the laws of other countries, intelligence services of many countries working with significantly legal sources," added Vladimir Putin.

The Russian authorities have made the modernization of the country their priority, while many factories and infrastructure in Russia still date from the Soviet era and are obsolete.

Le Figaro seems to talk here is based on economic espionage, but is it reasonable from a head of government of one of the greatest powers on earth, to hold such a speech? Is not that a bit worrying that a large Western media relays such a speech without seeming to worry about at all?

By nature, special services are designed to operate in secret, hiding it becomes difficult to justify when one claims to be content to operate legally. Do not assume that this is actually a declaration of war - a statement as a regularization Moreover, as it seems reason to believe that the Russian intelligence services have probably never (as other for that matter) continued to engage in industrial espionage outside their borders - this would show a very great simplicity. Do not see such a public statement in a clear and extremely alarming degradation of the quality of international relations, that is, from the major Western democracies, is blind to the rise of risk a little (relatively speaking) as they did eight decades earlier before the bellicose statements of a man named Hitler.

Maybe can you say to reassure himself, by dint of confusing, in France and elsewhere, business intelligence and special services, Putin's remarks were mistranslated by AFP. In the modern intelligence, operations intelligence is indeed now part of the job the most important and most difficult to achieve, and can in no way be confused with the clandestine collection of intelligence (espionage) that is just one very specific aspect, for this reason given to "special" services. The remarks of Russian Prime Minister would be infinitely more acceptable Indeed if he had talked of using the operational capacity of the information "open" its intelligence services. But who cares?

Perhaps one might be objected that the competencies of services used to swim in troubled waters may be useful for the collection of information called "gray" while remaining within the strict framework of legality and there is nothing shocking about what a great democracy do use these skills. But it is precisely the development of these "gray areas" (which are actually areas of non-right), posing in my opinion the problem and indicates a slow degradation of the quality of international relations. If states, rather than seeking to reduce these gray areas in legislating, trying to take the opportunity to organize the looting of techno-scientific advances of their rivals, it can indeed be pessimistic about the future of good Relations between great nations.

Public policy intelligence

The recent communication on the public policy of economic intelligence, presented by the Council of Ministers on 8 December by the Minister of Economy, Mrs. Christine Lagarde, is a fundamental first step for a better understanding of economic intelligence. In the logic of my previous posts, yet it remains an important clarification work to be done for this public policy can result in the company by an activity and crafts based on recognized academic discipline sufficiently structured.

She said the three axes around which the action of the state in economic intelligence: business intelligence for the benefit of the French economy, supporting the competitiveness of the economy (public research, influence , export assistance), economic security and intellectual property. Implementation by the interministerial delegation to economic intelligence, this public policy at all levels based on the state apparatus (central government, territories, diplomacy).

So much for public policy put forward by the deputy Bernard Carayon.

For the rest, its translation in private enterprise, but also and especially its academic component that is fundamental, much remains I think to do. In particular, their scope should be defined with greater precision to avoid the shortcomings that I advanced in my two previous tickets, as well as in many other articles . This area can not be strictly into effect identical to that of public policy, which inevitably includes elements strictly sovereign. Do not take note of this inescapable fact, and continue to confuse exploitation of information, decision, policy, secrecy, security, cons-intelligence, business law, intellectual property, influence industry standards and commercial diplomacy, in a single discipline or a single profession, taking the name of public policy, can only lead to disorder, and other abuses rivalries chapels, the news of the last fifteen years has unfortunately confirmed reality.

After IE, why not BE?

The twists of the case allows Wikileaks by Perrine Créquy of food for thought on how to "exercise of economic intelligence. "

Simple posture for some, state of mind to others, public policy for others, strategic function within the company for those wishing to make their profession, academic discipline for those who want to advance their teaching methods and ..., fuzzy concept no doubt, the intelligence seems elusive. Its nature and in fact seems as imprecise as its scope, covering a wide range from documentary to watch the influence through the strategy and the protection of secrecy, is great.

Here it is now promoted to the rank of quality: there is evidence of intelligence (EI) as shown bravery or generosity, or as we could show, conversely, stupidity Economic (BE). Not sure that this profession, whose practitioners now have a union to represent them, it becomes clearer.

Economic intelligence, "this terminology misnomer because few explicit", as recognized by Olivier Buquen the interministerial delegate in charge of the case (D2IE), does she deserve to be not suitable because they can be changed? As I suggested in my previous post , it could be reserved for public policy advocated by Bernard Carayon (and implemented by the interministerial delegate), while "the use of intelligence" (or useful information ) may designate the academic discipline (and profession) and the "Business Intelligence" (or business information), its declination in business.

Economic intelligence or "the art of seeing without being seen"

Among the many definitions or characterizations of economic intelligence, the latter, we Mael Le Hir book title of a post on his blog Vedocci , seems interesting analyze because, if it may seem efficient, it is nonetheless somewhat ambiguous and may well lead to confusion.

This formula describes the intelligence as " the art of seeing without being seen " indeed has the disadvantage of happily apply to espionage, intelligence activity which Economic constantly seek to differentiate themselves.

We understand yet what it means to its author, who is also specified in the body of the ticket or " art that displays a company to provide maximum information for strategic purposes, while protecting up its data. In this latest version, more explicit ready indeed much less confusing. It is obviously not a spy, but information retrieval "strategic" one hand, and protection of its confidential information to the other. The precision is useful for not be open to criticism which would point not without reason that if the company has an urgent need to see or learn to act and undertake, however, it did not intend to hide any more than it needed. At most she need and duty to ensure the confidentiality of information it generates or manipulates it and which could benefit its competitors, which is very different.

But beyond what could pass for a mere excess of formality, the ambiguity of the formula is noteworthy because it raises a fundamental question about the relevance of the merger within the same discipline ; two activities as diverse and contradictory as are the research and protection of strategic information.

I already addressed this issue of the "paradox of strategic information" in an article already former, which the reader can refer. I gave the conclusions he had drawn in my opinion for intelligence " The secrecy is obviously the work of all " but " is also a trade recognized "and required that often requires professional intervention . " This specific business can not be confused with intelligence, which covers the entire spectrum of information processing (control of the exploitation of sources of information), and is fundamentally different practices. Although they are both serving the same strategic goal, confused denies the existence of one or the other. This amalgam is harmful for intelligence and always dangerous to confidentiality. "

In a more recent article , I pulled consequences applicable economic intelligence, in its aspect that I propose to call "information * Business" by defining it thus: "The intelligence enterprise is the function whose purpose is to deliver to policy makers in the company's knowledge resources in decision-making in the uncertain environment of economic activities (financial, commercial or industrial). It stands, not only of espionage (which is or should be obvious), but the Security Intelligence within government departments, in that it can not exploit sources practicing clandestine research activities. To avoid any risk of drift and confusion with the vocation of State for intelligence and security sided mild or illegal measures and security arrangements within the company must be clearly separated from the perimeter of intelligence. Indeed, the requirements related to protection or safety, of course, involve primarily the individual measures on the part of businesses, the public is still only able to be supplemented by provisions within its sovereign functions, including security intelligence, which must therefore be strictly excluded from the scope of business of the company. "

Perhaps the intelligence to gain inspiration from these findings and provisions that might follow, that I summarized roughly as follows:

• reserve the term "intelligence" on public policy advocated by Bernard Carayon;
• promote the creation of an academic discipline on civil Intelligence (or function operation) with the objective to develop, on the basis of precise definitions of its various ingredients, research programs and related training designed to create a pool of professionals in the intelligence function to the sovereign functions of state security (intelligence security) for public-private partnership in terms of influence (intelligence influence), as well as for businesses (information - or information - business);
• finally encourage rehabilitation, these new bases , the intelligence function within companies, as part of an activity officially called "business intelligence" clearly separate the security function, which any government involvement would be formally excluded in order not to distort the most basic rules of competition and to avoid these dangerous liaisons and their derivatives regularly highlighted by the press.

* Note: for those that the word "intelligence" put off, or who feel, perhaps rightly, that it is too connoted "security" or espionage I propose to designate the discipline by the expression "Exploitation of useful information" and function "information business".

Intelligence and exploitation of intelligence: the same battle.


A Newswatch ( Practices Business Intelligence , October 2010) Cetim (Technical Centre for Mechanical Industries) offers a synthesis of 10 th European Forum on business intelligence and Strategic (IES 2010). The "new challenges" raised to "cope with the new digital uses" similar to those which operate Intelligence is facing over the past fifteen years. Not sure Web 2.0 is up to the challenges!

In its section entitled "Facing the new uses digital / New research challenges information," the authors note (Laurent and Jean-Marc Couvé Bélot) note that 'with' web 2, the challenges multiply for a watchman: to manage information overload, check his sources, analyze information, automate as much of the research process, analysis, visualization and dissemination of Information ; Neglect nothing, managing multimedia (sound, image, video); know how to manage information in real time to dispose of the collection time to focus on the analysis (currently a part spends 80% of his time collection); manage multilingualism.

Except technological challenges (automation, management of multimedia and multilingual), one finds all the ingredients methodological use of information, excluding the benefit of the analysis which must " dispose collection time."

Do not especially believe that the management of "information overload", the verification of sources, "improved" search process ", the" , visualization and dissemination of information, "the ability to" leave no stone unturned, "management" information in real time, "are challenges that technological advances will be able to face.

Like operation intelligence, economic intelligence, suffers from a lack of theoretical and methodological practices or tools of web 2.0, 3.0 ... or n.0, never managed to fill only .

Methodology vs. Technology Information and gender of angels

The frightful complexity of the notion of information should it encourage us to avoid any debate about it considering it can give rise to discussions Byzantine? I think quite the contrary it should encourage us to try to master some basic aspects without claiming to have access to any truth about the sex of angels.

This reflection was inspired by a little "parable" found in a signed commentary "LG58" about an article by Robert Guillaumot published March 2, 2008 on the blog Les Echos, entitled The relevance of sources in danger .

"On May 29, 1453 is a Tuesday."

The source of this information is reliable?

Undoubtedly, if we rely on the reputation of the Institute of Celestial Mechanics and Computation ephemeris ( IMCCE ) and / or its supervisory CNRS, Ministry of Education, CNES.

This information is reliable?

Not at all, you're not unhappy, those who claim they are just amateurs who disgrace the profession! This day is weighted according to the Julian calendar, replaced the aftermath of Thursday, October 4, 1582 by Friday, October 15, 1582 of the Gregorian calendar. The weekday schedule in the latter is not at all the same!

This information is relevant?

You understand my little gentleman, should perhaps tell me what you want to do this if you want me to respond!

That day, the 20th day of Jumada-l-ula year 857, while no chapel could no to admit its truth about the sex of angels, Sultan Mehmet He says "the Conqueror" going breaches of the walls of what is never be called Byzantium .

Beyond the joke which could be thought at first approach it aims to denounce the futility of this debate, we must wonder about the merits (I should say the relevance J) of this first analysis, and a lingering little about the moral of the story. We can draw three lessons that I think deserve to be widely pondered in the context of any discussion on the concept of information and actors that surround the great theater of the mind. Sources, reasoning, sense, education, speech communication, are all dressed in costumes made true and false in reality or fiction, which can be attempted to judge the relevance, accuracy, or reliability.

first lesson, a reliable source may submit a proposal accurate, but incomplete information that give the correctness of the interpretation may be called into question (here, the proposal needs to be supplemented issued by a reference to the calendar to represent a true information).

education Second, unlike a proposal, information is neither true nor false, but only complete or incomplete. Only interpretation that gives rise to a proposal may be submitted to the criterion of truth. Information will be known just enough to indicate that the meaning (interpretation) that we can give to its content. The information thus meets a need for meaning, but can not be confused with the meaning it carries itself.

Third education, relevance has meaning only in relation to a question, answer or such information is or is not relevant to the need it fills. Information will be considered relevant to the meaning it carries and the need it satisfied.

This notion of relevance is even more central intelligence that it differs from information in that it responds to a need to know to do that fully characterizes: the information is just information, just in time, the service of right action . Much more than the criteria of reliability, truth or accuracy, moreover very difficult to evaluate is that of relevance (or narrowly indicating adjustment required), which must be taken into account in the Intelligence Assessment.


Without becoming overly hopefully in the tétratrichotomie that some people will not fail to reproach me, these lessons seem to me important to identify to better understand the many difficulties in handling and processing of the raw material that is so sensitive information, especially its Qualification (value, sensitivity). They illustrate the need to do is look at throughout the scope of information, which can range in theory from the notion of linguistic meaning (to the exclusion of the signified which is of the proposal) until the basic notion of sign to which introducing semiotics, beyond the signifier and the referent stimulus.
