Through a Necessity and Urgency Decree that will be published in the coming hours, the national government will move forward with a second-generation reform of the National Intelligence System, with the aim of deepening the changes already introduced by Decree 614/24 and modifying central aspects of Law 25.520.
The initiative aims to modernize, organize, and legitimize the functioning of the system, correcting historical distortions, eliminating overlaps, and providing it with greater institutional oversight, in line with democratic standards and current strategic needs.
One of the central pillars is the creation of an Intelligence Community, a sphere of permanent functional integration under the leadership of the State Intelligence Secretariat (SIDE). This space will make it possible to share strategic information among the State's various specialized agencies, incorporating key sectoral knowledge —economic, technological, health-related, financial, and communications-related— into national analysis.
In parallel, an Information Community is established, made up of State agencies that, without producing intelligence in the strict sense, will provide relevant data to expand the State's strategic information base.
Another key point is the clear separation between cybersecurity and cyberintelligence. While cybersecurity will remain focused on the protection of networks, systems, and critical assets —with the creation of the National Cybersecurity Center within the Office of the Cabinet Chief—, cyberintelligence will concentrate on obtaining strategic knowledge from cyberspace. This distinction seeks greater transparency, international cooperation, and access to specific financing.
