Hostile intelligence gathering is most efficiently dealt with when deeply understood from the assailant’s point of view.

Understanding and knowing the stages of planning and executing an attack (of any sort), and the role of operational intelligence collection (OIC) enables a security force to prepare and

carrying out preventative actions that will disrupt the attack already in it’s early stages and thus bring to it’s prevention.


One of AFIK’s main goals is to bring the intelligence aspect into existing security systems so that more and more forces will shift from being a passive force, which only reacts to attacks, into being an active force, which combines together with the regular activity the initiative and preventative activities.

In order to do so, AFIK has built this seminar. It is built to bring deep understanding and experience of the assailant’s point of view and action, thus enabling the security force to apply new methods of action and prevention.

General layout and duration of the course
