The intelligence community has always done things the same way: Identify a potential source (a target); make a recruitment (an agent); train, brief, and run the agent in place to collect intelligence of value to decision makers. A great agent gives the decision maker insight into intent, and a reasoning and decision advantage over his or her adversaries. In some circumstances, this advantage shapes destiny. Control over destiny is commonly called sovereignty.

An alert may be the first sign a security team sees, but it rarely marks the beginning of an attack. Before an intrusion reaches the network, threat actors may research targets, prepare infrastructure, trade stolen credentials, or discuss vulnerabilities they plan to exploit. Security teams that rely solely on internal alerts may miss earlier activity.
