Intelligence

What is SIGINT?

Signals Intelligence: information taken from signals. For a private organisation this narrows to traffic it owns or lawfully operates.

Signals intelligence is intelligence taken from intercepted signals: communications, radar and other electronic emissions. National agencies collect it at large scale.

For a private organisation, SIGINT narrows to traffic it owns or lawfully operates, such as its own network flows, DNS queries and packet captures, plus data from sinkholes and honeypots it runs. Intercepting other people's communications is not an option.
