The Agenzia Informazioni e Sicurezza Esterna (Italian for "External Intelligence and Security Agency"), commonly known as AISE and formerly known as SISMI, is the foreign intelligence service of Italy. Operating outside of Italy, the organisation protects Italy's regional interests mainly through the use of HUMINT (Human intelligence). Counterparts in other countries include MI6, CIA and DGSE. The agency is currently headed by General Alberto Manenti. ==History== Since the end of World War II, Italian intelligence agencies have been reorganized many times: * SIM 1900-49, * SIFAR 1949-65, * SIOS 1949-97, * SID 1965-77, * SISMI (militar), and SISDE, Executive Committee for Intelligence and Security (CESIS) 1977–2007 in an attempt to increase their effectiveness and bring them more fully under civilian control. AISE was founded in 2007 with the reform of the intelligence agencies provided by the Italian (3 August 2007, n. 124 ) law: new agencies were formed as the Department of Information Security (DIS) and the Homeland Security and Information Agency (AISI). The reform drastically changed the structure of the Italian intelligence, as compared to the (24 October 1977, n. 801 ) law, it now does not divide the responsibilities between civilian and military structures (i.e. SISDE and SISMI), but along territorial spheres of competence: * AISI only within the borders and * AISE only abroad, * DIS (Dipartimento delle Informazioni per la Sicurezza, ''Department of Information Security'') aligning Italy with how other countries arrange their services. By law, it is a similar case with the Central Intelligence Agency in the U.S. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Agenzia Informazioni e Sicurezza Esterna」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
