AD Agenzia Investigativa, after years of experience in industrial espionage can assert with certainty that industrial espionage always ends thanks to the collaboration of staff inside our company.

It is appropriate to immediately prevent the problem by investing in the safety of the company.

Closely connected to industrial counter-espionage, for preventive purposes, is the theme of the personnel to be introduced into the company. For this, see the specific Section (Preassunzioni).

It should also be emphasized that industrial espionage takes shape beyond what is specified above also thanks to the concealment of sophisticated equipment designed to intercept conversations, to collect images and to take strategic company data. See in this regard the Section: Telephone remediation, directly linked to industrial counterintelligence.

Not investing in company security means exposing it to dangers that could even be disastrous.

After the Cold War, apparatuses of intelligence the world have poured into the various fields of the economy, putting their multiple skills at the service of companies.

Every self-respecting company, even of a small size, is forced to activate a corporate / industrial counter-espionage service.

b) at the end of each business activity.

2. Identify who within the company, for money or for a desire for recourse, for various reasons, towards the employer or some of his delegates, provide key information.

3. Find any "double agents".

Double agents (a term borrowed from military language) are those who work for the two competing parties for purely personal and profit purposes, providing the various information first to one, then to the other.

However, espionage techniques are manifold. In years of counter-espionage activities we have ascertained different situations.
