Industrial Espionage
Counterespionage Awareness Program
Information about your industry’s trade secrets, products, services, finances, marketing strategy and investment objectives is a weapon of modern economic warfare. Competitors can legally gather information about your industry to protect market share, but often this is not enough.
Industrial espionage refers to the illegal and unethical theft of trade secrets to be used by a competitor to gain a competitive advantage. Industrial espionage also includes bribery, blackmail and technological surveillance. It is usually practiced by an insider or by an employee who is hired to steal information and spy on behalf of a competitor.
Industrial espionage can severely damage a company’s reputation and hinder growth opportunities. Industrial espionage is widespread across the high-tech, retail, financial and public sectors, and has become even easier today due to vulnerabilities caused by a lack of investment in cybersecurity.
