Intelligence plays a crucial role in national security, but its specific role depends on the overall governance of security policy, including doctrinal, intellectual, legal and organisational frameworks. Different models of security policy governance shape the missions, priorities and modus operandi of intelligence enterprises. Along with increasing concerns over Russia’s wide-spectrum and ‘hybrid’ activities targeting critical infrastructure and societal functions, the EU, NATO and their member states have started placing greater emphasis on resilience-building. While ‘resilience’ has become an overarching concept shaping both transnational and national security policies and strategies, the role of intelligence in resilience-building, and what resilience entails for intelligence, remains to be clarified. This article explores the linkages and interface between resilience and intelligence, conceptually and in terms of policy implications. It is argued that conceptually, intelligence is a critical function for all stages of resilience—anticipation, response and adaptation—constituting a key part of the cognitive organisational capability dimension. In terms of policy, the resilience perspective widens the role of intelligence, highlighting the need for an integrated approach to intelligence. As a consequence, the understanding of intelligence itself needs to evolve.
