INTELLIGENCE NEWS
This is your Testimonials Section. It's a great space to introduce the real life reviews and love letters you've received from your clients and customers. Testimonials provide a sense of what it's like to work with you, or what it's like to use your products and services. This can show people that you're trustworthy and reliable.
The aim of this conference is to identify and analyze the impacts of recent major shifts in the international security environment on the changing character of warfare. Though broad in its interest, this conference seeks to explore those issues that resonate across all domains related to security and defence in this new era of Great Power competition. CIN/RCR will be interested in whether the intelligence enterprise effectiveness is recognized as a strategic asset. See https://www.thekcis.org/conference.
