In this episode of The Security Podcast, Sean Rayment speaks to Phil Ingram, former Colonel in the Intelligence Corps, about the vital role of intelligence in modern security.
They discuss what intelligence really means, how information is gathered and assessed, and why good intelligence is essential for effective decision-making. Phil draws on his military experience to explain the challenges of filtering huge amounts of data, the risks of political influence, and the lessons learned from historic intelligence failures.
The conversation also explores the continuing threat of terrorism, the role AI could play in intelligence gathering, Russia’s gray zone warfare, and the growing risk of global conflict in an increasingly unstable world.
