Counter Intelligence (ICI-34)

Counter Intelligence (ICI-34)Protection against illegal attacks on your enterprise

Information is a company asset which must be categorized, quantified, and protected, just as much as any other asset. The security and protection of information is a management topic, not a technical problem. It is about people and processes.
Technology can help to reduce the risks to your information. Ultimately, it is people who produce these risks. The majority of information loss takes place not only within the organization, but also through suppliers and customers who have regular access to your information systems.
In this workshop, the fundamental forms of threats by corporate espionage will be shown and its defence (Counter Intelligence) will be introduced.
