Your new workplace

The Danish Defence Intelligence Service (FE) is Denmark’s foreign intelligence service and works – in secret and openly – to protect Denmark and Danish interests in a changing world.

We are not alone in protecting Denmark, but we are the only authority that has been mandated to use very special means to uncover what other states and foreign actors are trying to keep secret. It makes sense for us to contribute to peace, safety and security for Danes, both in the analog and the digital world, and we do this by uncovering, assessing, advising on and counteracting both current threats and threats in development.

We value the strength of our diversity with deep expertise and specialists and we are a very special and practically oriented knowledge organization, with many different tasks, but common to them all is the knowledge base that our intelligence work creates.
