Security Training - Competitive Counter Intelligence

As international business competition increases and the need for information becomes essential to success and survival, U.S. Corporations must understand how they can protect themselves and collect information at the same time. Now more than ever global competition demands accurate and timely business intelligence. Also foreign intelligence organizations who previously targeted government organizations are now directing their efforts at industry which is seldom prepared to defend against such sophisticated adversaries. Management which buries it's head in the sand will eventually find itself no longer competitive and ultimately consumed. This course is designed to provide information which will assist in establishing or enhancing programs to protect multinational businesses & government contractors. How to collect business information to assist the organization in the conduct of it's operations will also be discussed.
