Abstract

Cyberspace open-source intelligence is a subset of open-source intelligence that mainly pay attention to the information that reflects tactics, technology, procedures, behaviors, events, and other elements which are valuable for cyberspace defenders to gain an advantage in finding out what is happening, why is it happening and how to deal with troubles concerning cyberspace environments. As the scale and complexity of cyberspace continue to rise, nobody could process that increasing amount of data in time. To extract important information from fragments of observing results, it is necessary to strengthen human-machine cooperation in the intelligence domain for better accuracy, insight, and efficiency. From the viewpoint of space dimension, time dimension, and layer model of intelligence-organization, the desired relationship between human and machine and their respective duties are investigated by model-based methodology research, while corresponding suggestions are purposed for better analysis accuracy, insight, and efficiency in the future.
