The key to any act of espionage is getting away with it and of course leaving the doors open to return time and time again for more information. A simple piece of information about a company, a Court case or a product in development might well be worth a lot bid and tender information, well, some might pay more for that… Modus operandi So, the value of information/intelligence is relative, what is that information worth. If your firm or organisation is being targeted, the chances are that the budget set to gain intelligence from you is not going to be in the Millions of Dollars, even in the larger cases we have seen the budget is incremental, based on results so, make it hard early on and the chances are you will survive and limit any damage done and reduce the loss of information, the loss of information and maybe reputational and financial damage.Įspionage can be an expensive business intelligence gathering even at entry level could run into hundreds of thousands of Dollars. It’s about having your ducks in a row or at least some of them! If things are too hard early on then there is a high possibility that they will move on. Anyone looking to target your firm or organisation is going to look for the easy options first, the low hanging fruit. A good defence is mostly about having the basics right. The reality is that countering espionage in any organisation does not have to cost a lot. The subject of countering espionage is one that falls through the gaps of both knowledge and responsibility. Most IT or security professionals have no or little idea the subject of espionage is just not covered by most IT or Security courses, not even at Degree or Masters Level. It might shock you to know that neither of these people have in 99% of cases had training in counter espionage. Do you know who is in charge of counter espionage issues within your firm? Head of IT, Head of security?
