Counter-Espionage For Business Travelers Course

The Counter-Espionage for Business Travelers Course is a two-day seminar designed to educate those individuals in your organization who may become targets of espionage, whether knowingly or unknowingly, from an economic competitor or a hostile intelligence service.

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

A small sample of the topics covered include:

• Economic vs. Industrial Espionage
• Foreign Intelligence Collection Methods
• How to Recognize Elicitation and Recruiting Techniques
• Operational Security (OPSEC) Awareness
• Communication Security (COMSEC) Awareness
• Data Attack and Intrusion Methodologies
• How to become an "Invisible Traveler"
• Surveillance Detection Techniques

If you can't go for the course, at least go for some good books on the subject:
