Security agency
A
security agency
is a
governmental organization
which conducts
intelligence
activities for the
internal security
of a
nation
. They are the domestic cousins of foreign
intelligence agencies
, and typically conduct
counterintelligence
to thwart other countries' foreign intelligence efforts. For example, the United States
Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI) is the internal intelligence, security and
law enforcement
agency, while the
Central Intelligence Agency
(CIA) is an external intelligence service, which deals primarily with intelligence collection overseas. A similar relationship exists in Britain between
MI5
and
MI6
.
