Commercial Espionage – Is Your Organisation Protected?

Commercial espionage happens! There are still security directors who think that commercial/corporate/industrial espionage rarely occurs, the truth is – it happens! AND the perpetrators aren’t always a disgruntled employee or commercial competitor.

“In contemporary times, espionage also has a newer dimension: spying for commercial reasons and regional geopolitics. A world shaped by geoeconomics has seen espionage priorities shift from strictly national security to commercial espionage, including industrial and economic espionage. Among the traditional ways to gather information on rivals is to infiltrate their ranks, steal their technology or sabotage their operations. More recently, economic and industrial espionage involves the use of computer technologies. Malware and spyware infections are increasingly being used as tools to this end since they enable a user to transmit trade secrets, customer plans, future directions, and contact information digitally. Pegasus that switches on mobile phone cameras and recorders, is one of the newest types of tools for eavesdropping.”
