Download or read book Economic Intelligence and National Security written by Centre for Trade Policy and Law and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1998 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of the Cold War, competition among states has been waged along economic rather than ideological or military lines. In Canada, as elsewhere, this shift has forced a rethinking of the role of intelligence services in protecting and promoting national economic security. The scholars and practitioners featured here explore the aim, existing mandate, and practical applications of economic espionage from a Canadian and comparative perspective, and present a range of options for policy-makers. Economic Intelligence & National Security examines the laws in place to thwart economic spying, and the challenges and ethical problems faced by agencies working clandestinely to support their national private sectors.

Download or read book America the Vulnerable written by Joel Brenner and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-09-29 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now available in a new edition entitled GLASS HOUSES: Privacy, Secrecy, and Cyber Insecurity in a Transparent World. A former top-level National Security Agency insider goes behind the headlines to explore America's next great battleground: digital security. An urgent wake-up call that identifies our foes; unveils their methods; and charts the dire consequences for government, business, and individuals. Shortly after 9/11, Joel Brenner entered the inner sanctum of American espionage, first as the inspector general of the National Security Agency, then as the head of counterintelligence for the director of national intelligence. He saw at close range the battleground on which our adversaries are now attacking us-cyberspace. We are at the mercy of a new generation of spies who operate remotely from China, the Middle East, Russia, even France, among many other places. These operatives have already shown their ability to penetrate our power plants, steal our latest submarine technology, rob our banks, and invade the Pentagon's secret communications systems. Incidents like the WikiLeaks posting of secret U.S. State Department cables hint at the urgency of this problem, but they hardly reveal its extent or its danger. Our government and corporations are a "glass house," all but transparent to our adversaries. Counterfeit computer chips have found their way into our fighter aircraft; the Chinese stole a new radar system that the navy spent billions to develop; our own soldiers used intentionally corrupted thumb drives to download classified intel from laptops in Iraq. And much more. Dispatches from the corporate world are just as dire. In 2008, hackers lifted customer files from the Royal Bank of Scotland and used them to withdraw $9 million in half an hour from ATMs in the United States, Britain, and Canada. If that was a traditional heist, it would be counted as one of the largest in history. Worldwide, corporations lose on average $5 million worth of intellectual property apiece annually, and big companies lose many times that. The structure and culture of the Internet favor spies over governments and corporations, and hackers over privacy, and we've done little to alter that balance. Brenner draws on his extraordinary background to show how to right this imbalance and bring to cyberspace the freedom, accountability, and security we expect elsewhere in our lives. In America the Vulnerable, Brenner offers a chilling and revelatory appraisal of the new faces of war and espionage-virtual battles with dangerous implications for government, business, and all of us.

Download or read book The Quiet Threat written by Ronald L. Mendell and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2011 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years since the first edition, industrial and corporate espionage have not diminished. There has been, however, an increase in awareness about the issues. There are more graduate-level programs in business and in security that are offering courses and training on intelligence gathering in the commercial sector. Training in the protection of confidential documents and materials that forms a part of security certification programs has been updated. With the large amount of outsourcing in the technological sector overseas, information transfer and leakage continues to be a serious problem, and as long as corporations see outsourcing as a way to save money in the short term, dangers will persist. The security community will need to continue to pursue this issue politically and socially. Accordingly, the text focuses on these issues and gives the reader a real sense of how industrial spies are persistent and clever in circumventing defenses. It examines both the defensive and offensive tactics necessary to fight industrial espionage. Living with paradox should be the theme for the security professional, and the book draws wisdom from political philosophers like Machiavelli to aid in that perspective. A clear plan of action in dealing with industrial espionage in a fluid, mobile, information-rich business environment is offered. Two additional chapters cover the tradecraft of the industrial spy and the uses of data mining in gathering business intelligence. An outline is offered for planning an intelligence campaign against a target, and a sample strategic intelligence report about a business is included. In addition, there is also a glossary of terms related to industrial espionage. These additional tools should increase a security professionalOCOs awareness of the corporate spyOCOs mindset, which is a major portion of the battle. This book will serve as a valuable resource to security professionals in law enforcement and the business sector."

Download or read book America s Soft Underbelly written by Kevin J. Degnan and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As economic markets fluctuate and globalization continues to stretch and stress U.S. corporations due to increased competition, security of corporate and sensitive U.S. technology is increasingly a matter of national security. Threats to sensitive U.S. technologies come not only from our enemies, but from our allies and free market competitors. U.S. industries are a priority for economic espionage and very often a priority target for our adversaries. Foreign companies and governments seek to acquire U.S. technology capabilities in order to achieve technological parity and a competitive advantage with which to enhance their military capabilities.1 As this national security threat continues to grow, the U.S. government should initiate appropriate counter espionage defense systems to protect U.S. interests and sensitive technologies. Potential solutions include expanding the National Counter Intelligence Executive (NCIX) Office, establishing a standing Interagency Economic Espionage Coordination Group (IEECG) or expanding the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Counterintelligence Domain Program (CDP) countering economic espionage by foreign competitors and adversaries.

Download or read book Trade Secrecy as an Instrument of National Security Rethinking the Foundations of Economic Espionage written by Aaron J. Burstein and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, the Economic Espionage Act has been touted as a way to advance U.S. national security interests. Specifically, proponents in Congress and law enforcement and intelligence officials since then have argued that economic espionage harms national security by undermining U.S. competitiveness and technological advantage. The domains of national security and trade secrecy, however, have conflicting and irreconcilable structures for protecting information. The notion that United States law enforcement and intelligence agencies can effectively address economic espionage without altering the basic contours of trade secret protection is misguided. These agencies rarely have access to firm-level information about threats to economically valuable information, but the firms that own trade secrets lack the perspective that might allow them to identify and defend against state-sponsored threats. Using diplomatic means to gain a better understanding of how other nations fund scientific and technical research development offers a more promising means of reducing the incentives and cover for economic espionage than does the current strategy of attempting to make incompatible legal paradigms work together.
