Top 10 Most Famous Intelligence Agencies in the World

Intelligence services are powerful instruments that add to a nation's power. The most effective weapon for defeating enemies is sharp intelligence. The majority of nations separate their intelligence into two categories: foreign intelligence and security intelligence. In order to combat dangers like terrorism and espionage, security intelligence is in charge of preserving domestic security. Information about the political, military, or economic activity of other nations is gathered by foreign intelligence. Following this, let's examine the top ten intelligence services in the globe.

1. ASIS

The Australian Secret Intelligence Service, or ASIS, is the country's intelligence organization. Founded in 1952, it has only been open to the public since 1977. One of Australia's top secret intelligence organizations is ASIS. Canberra, Australia, is home to the headquarters of this intelligence organization. In terms of authority, function, and accountability, ASIS is likened to the British MI6 and the American CIA.
