Corporate Espionage – How Secure Are Your Communications?
Are your conference or meeting rooms secure and able to hold sensitive and confidential conversations?
How confident are you that what you say in sensitive discussions remains private information?
Corporate espionage is the covert and potentially unlawful practice of monitoring an organisations business activity to gain an advantage, the listening to foreign agencies / governments communications in order to obtain intelligence and the illegal collation of private data belonging to another enterprise.
The objective of a covert operation might be a trade secret such as a proprietary product specification or formula, or information about business plans, etc.
In many cases, the use of clandestine surveillance tactics is to simply seek information that the protagonists can use to exploit to its advantage. A corporate agitator may be a competitor, foreign national, an individual who has gained employment within the company for the sole purpose of carrying out a surveillance attack or even an unhappy employee who trades information for money, personal gain, or revenge.
Espionage infiltrators also infiltrate make use of social engineering tactics, for example, tricking an employee into divulging privileged information (such as the location of a scheduled conference or meeting).
Many business organisations use external / third party cleaning services that have unescorted access to all areas of the business including areas which hold sensitive and valuable data.
Even off-site locations used for holding confidential meetings and gatherings are not secure. The efforts of corporate spies are not to be underestimated, and if the meeting is of interest to them, they will work hard to obtain the information they are seeking. Hotel staff can be paid off, security at these venues is not considered difficult to pe*****te, allowing access to proposed sites for meetings that can be accessed and compromised.
Protecting data and private information should be at the forefront of all companies and organisations security strategies.
Putting in place anti-cyber-attack software and firewalls is all well and good for the IT environment of business data, but what about the physical security measures of shielding unwanted intrusion into company business.
Along with carrying out comprehensive electronic anti-surveillance sweeps for NGO’s, corporate enterprises, private individuals, and global businesses as a part of the overarching data protection strategy, we also provide a “live counter surveillance operation service” to clients who conduct sensitive meetings at both on-site and off- site locations.
The information exchanged at such high-level gatherings make the meetings a prime target for clandestine eavesdropping.
