The Counter-Espionage for Business Travelers Course is the solution for protecting your organization's secrets
According to an annual Congressional report on espionage, "the United States private sector is seen as an irresistible 'soft target' for foreign intelligence collectors."
As today's business environment has become globally interconnected, foreign intelligence activities have extended beyond traditional targets in the Intelligence Community and other US national security structures. Hostile intelligence services, as well as private collectors, now target a wide variety of unclassified/classified information and technologies in a range of sectors. Although cyber threats are increasingly pervasive, most collectors still employ more traditional espionage practices when targeting international business travelers.
Unfortunately, most business travelers are untrained, and thus unprepared, to handle even the most common espionage tactics, such as:
- Elicitation
- Bribery
- Blackmail
- Extortion
- Electronic Surveillance
- Electronic Exploitation
- Physical Surveillance
- Hotel/Office Covert Intrusions
