and/or external Threats that are symmetric (conventional), but also asymmetric (unconventional) ones, which are global in nature and difficult to identify and categorized as Threat from outside or from within. Their forms and characteristics have also become multidimensional. Therefore, the identification and analysis of Threats should be made more comprehensive, both in the aspects of source, form and characteristic, inclination, as well as in accordance with condition of strategic environment dynamics. Efforts to assess Threats may be successfully fulfilled if State Intelligence, as the first-line defense in the national security system, is capable of performing early detection and early warning against various forms and characteristics of Threats, whether potential or actual. In order to achieve this, State Intelligence Personnel must have the attitudes and actions that are professional, objective, and neutral. Such attitudes and actions reflect State Intelligence Personnel that are independent and impartial since any action is based on facts and they neither are affected by personal or group interests nor rely on other parties, but solely for the benefit of the nation. State Intelligence as the Intelligence institution has been around since the early establishment of the government of the Republic of Indonesia and it is an integral part of the national security system that has the powers to perform the functions and activities of Intelligence under the provisions of the legislation. A universal understanding of Intelligence includes: a. knowledge, information that has been processed as material for policy and decision-making; b. organization, a body entrusted with duties and powers to perform Intelligence functions and activities, and c. activity, any effort, job, task, and action in performing the functions of investigation, security, and support.
