- changes in the management of U.S. intelligence and the fourth DNI in five years;
- obama administration policies;
- developments in collection and analysis;
- the killing of bin Laden, Wikileaks, and updates on Russia, North Korea, China, and the Middle East;
- the ability to handle the shift from large-scale attacks to smaller, individual attempts;
- expanded coverage of foreign intelligence services and new coverage of intelligence in authoritarian regimes.
