When you think of war more than likely you picture army’s facing each other on a battlefield. This is natural but there are actually wars being fought everyday around the globe that do not involve armies at all. The global business world is extremely competitive and the war for supremacy in a specified industry can be brutal and relentless. Intelligence, so vital in wars of any nature, is the key to success or failure. Organizations must gather intelligence about competitors and their product and visa versa. In order to protect your own intelligence you need a counter intelligence team. The Counter Intelligence Team A counter intelligence team is made up of many professionals that are experts in the field of intelligence measures and procedures. These intelligence wizards have one mission; to prevent any enemy, hostile or mere competitor, from obtaining protected intelligence that could be vital to success or failure. Prevention can best be accomplished by those professionals who know what to look for. These experts are trained for action on both sides of the fence. Therefore, they can think like the intruder, predict their next move and implement counter measures. Knowing Is Half The Battle There is something very essential about simply knowing. Knowing that you have created valuable trade secrets for example that would be very beneficial to others if they could obtain it; knowing also that this vital information must be protected from any and all methods of intelligence infiltration. In addition, knowing that if you want to protect that intelligence you need a team of professionals to implement counter intelligence procedures and execute a successful defense plan. Just knowing provides you with extraordinary power that can make a difference between success and failure in the long run. The Competitor/Infiltrator Those who wish to obtain your intelligence have numerous methods at their disposal. Unfortunately many have made an art of stealing valuable intelligence. A great mind is a terrible thing to waste. These professionals will apply all means at their disposal to infiltrate your organization and gather the information they need. They are looking for sensitive insider information that will benefit their client and bring them huge rewards. General public information does not impress these experts. They want intelligence that can only be achieved through espionage. Execution Of Counter Intelligence If you wait until you have been infiltrated to act then you place yourself and your organization between a rock and a hard place. The time for prevention and protection is as soon as you realize that you have intelligence that needs to be defended. Infiltrators will use the most update modern technology at their finger tips to accomplish their mission. One of their favorite ways to attack is with your very own employee’s. They interview those who seem approachable and offer huge rewards for intelligence. They will use blackmail or bribery without losing a moment of ethical thought. The Games Infiltrator Play Once the competition infiltrates your domain they can pursue a janitor or a cleaning person to assist them in planting high tech electronic monitoring systems into your area that will be almost impossible to spot unless you know what you are looking for. They can place ball point pens or paper weights that seem perfectly normal on a desk or board room table and have accurate audio/visual access for days at a time. Gone unnoticed this could lead to sensitive information being transferred that could alter the future. Act Upon What You Know Counter intelligence activity can be your only line of defense from those who would infiltrate your domain using whatever methods necessary to cause your business harm. Make the intelligent decision and protect your intelligence. A qualified counter intelligence team can help you to protect what is yours. |
