Abstract :This study analyzes the Echelon Intelligence System from a cyber intelligence perspective, exploring its historical background, structure, and implications for global cybersecurity. The research outlines the evolution of intelligence practices, emphasizing the rise of cyber intelligence as a critical component within national security frameworks. It investigates how advancing technology has reshaped social life and raised concerns regarding data privacy and digital surveillance. The Echelon system, established during the Cold War, is examined through official documents revealing its operational scope and member states. The study also discusses the European Parliament’s 2001 report, which acknowledged the system’s existence despite its controversial legality and potential violations of the European Convention on Human Rights. Overall, the article underscores the growing importance of cyber intelligence in international security and the balance between technological advancement and individual privacy.Keywords : Siber İstihbarat, Echelon, Siber Güvenlik, Gözetim, Ulusal Güvenlik, İstihbarat Sistemleri, Bilgi Savaşı
