Blog post from Elastic
The US Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) has introduced a data strategy for 2023–2025, emphasizing the need for the Intelligence Community (IC) to adopt common services, enhance data interoperability, and prepare for artificial intelligence (AI) integration. The strategy, which follows the 2017 data plan, aims to address challenges such as increasing data volumes and the need for advanced data capabilities. Key focus areas include end-to-end data management, data interoperability, digital innovation partnerships, and transforming the IC workforce to be data-driven. Elastic is highlighted as a tool to support these goals by providing a unified data platform that facilitates secure data discovery, access, and analytics, while enabling agencies to manage and leverage data more effectively. The strategy underscores the importance of viewing data as a strategic asset in achieving IC mission success and emphasizes the role of AI in enhancing intelligence capabilities.
