Critical infrastructure and key assets constitute the fundamental lifelines of societal development and resilience, ensuring security, public welfare, and the effective functioning of social and economic systems. Intelligence vulnerability assessment, as one of the core functions of intelligence organizations, represents a fundamental step toward enhancing the resilience and sustainability of critical infrastructure and key assets. This study aims to assess the intelligence vulnerabilities of Latyan Dam and to develop intelligence management strategies for its protection. The required data were collected through documentary research, records review, field inspections, and semi-structured expert interviews. The collected data were subsequently analyzed using the MetaSWOT methodology and its dedicated software platform. During the research process, a total of nineteen intelligence-related vulnerabilities and threats were identified across five dimensions: documents and records, human resources, physical security and facilities, information and communications, and laws and processes. These vulnerabilities were evaluated using a risk assessment matrix, with the results indicating that the overall intelligence vulnerability of Latyan Dam falls within the moderate-risk category. Subsequently, through the implementation of the MetaSWOT framework, eight macro-trends influencing the intelligence management of Latyan Dam were identified based on the PESTLE approach. Their alignment with the defined objectives and the identified vulnerabilities was assessed according to four criteria: weight, impact, probability of escalation, and urgency, resulting in the development of a strategic power-alignment map. Finally, based on the proximity of vulnerabilities and threats to the identified macro-trends, the spatial positioning of each factor, and bubble-size analysis, a comprehensive set of intelligence management strategies for Latyan Dam was formulated and presented.
