All Intelligence is information, not all information is intelligence.

Trash can be a valuable source of intelligence but how can it be of  value and what are the dangers people and businesses need to watch out  for? In this article, we look at how to structure the management of  intelligence and what you need to know about Trash intelligence.

In today’s business and government environment, using intelligence is  vital to make plans for the future and to predict, understand and  spot/isolate threats. Intelligence consists of information, both  tangible or intangible. 

These can be anything from blue prints, product  information and client details to pricing and even ideas.

A vast amount of money is understandably poured into the IT sector in  order safeguard intellectual property and other information. 

Often  there is also an extensive effort directed to social media monitoring to  learn who is who, who says what and to whom.

Despite the fact most information resides on clouds, servers and  other forms of digital storage, we still print, make notes, and send  messages, be it electronically or via paper.

What most companies and other sectors disregard is the Human  Intelligence factor which also play a very crucial role in the society  we live. One reason for this our focus on digital threats and ignorance  about garbage. Garbage can be a very valuable source to people seeking  intelligence.

So, what defines this garbage or trash? By trash we mean:

• rubbish or waste, especially domestic refuse


• seemingly worthless or meaningless material or ideas


• unwanted data in a computer’s memory
