At the best of times corporate espionage is a highly destructive, illegal activity. What makes it worse is that during unstable economic times corporate espionage increases as firms compete ever harder to survive.
Corporations can be infiltrated and under surveillance for long periods of time during which huge amounts of business intelligence can be collected. The loss of new product ideas, research, technical information, customer databases, marketing plans and prospective bids and tenders can spell disaster for a company.
This is why many companies are adopting a proactive approach to protecting their business assets by employing the services of TSCM (technical surveillance counter measures) professionals. These experts use the latest technology and years of expertise to conduct regular bug sweeps that detect and counter the efforts of would be spies as well as providing ongoing protection against future attacks.
Finding a TSCM company is easy, conducting a Google search will throw up any number of possible candidates. However, choosing a company with the right skills and approach to provide an effective and thorough service is another matter. Get this wrong and you may find that your business is still leaking its secrets after one of their sweeps.
Here are just a few things to look for when choosing a TSCM company.
1. Do they offer an initial risk assessment?
Rather than just turning up and conducting a sweep without first understanding your needs and the threats you might be under, a professional bug sweeping company will take the time to discuss your suspicions and risk assess the situation. For more in depth assessments they may also arrange a meeting to discuss any existing problems away from the suspected area so as to avoid arousing suspicion. In some cases they may even advise against having a TSCM inspection or bug sweep if, after assessment, they feel it inappropriate or unnecessary.
2. Do they operate a discreet service?
Obviously the last thing you need is for employees, competitors or the media to get wind of any problems you might be experiencing. A professional counter surveillance company will handle your case seriously, discreetly and sensitively and create the minimum disturbance to normal work activities.
Ideally the TSCM sweep should be conducted covertly, out of normal office hours and with very few or no personnel on site during the operation. Your TSCM company should also provide a suitable cover story along with supporting documentation to divert attention away from the inspection team.
3. What specialist skills and expertise do they hold?
You should look for a TSCM company that holds a number of years of experience working with different clients in various global locations. A company that holds little experience will not have the same kind of experience to draw on to deal with the many varied situations that can arise.
Equally the personnel used to conduct your bug sweep should be trained, experienced and equipped with the latest counter surveillance equipment and techniques. Without this they may not be able to detect and deter all the threats posed by the latest developments in technical spying equipment.
4. Do they offer a range of counter surveillance services?
Your TSCM service should be tailored to meet your specific needs and to counter the surveillance threats you are under. A one size service does not fit all. A competent TSCM provider recognises this and should offer a service that is adequately staffed and pulls on a range of inspection and security techniques. This might include physical security reviews, computer scanning and IP detection, layered security inspections and executive vehicle searches.
5. What professional qualifications do they hold?
Competent TSCM companies know the importance of proving their experience and expertise. When looking to appoint one you should enquire about professional membership and qualifications held.
These might include: The American Society for Industrial Security (ASIS), The British Espionage Control and Countermeasures Association (BECCA), The Security Institute, CESG Listed Advisor Scheme, The British Computer Society, The Institute of Information Security Professionals (IISP), the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) qualification and the Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) qualification.

Broker, Trader, Lawyer, Spy: The Secret World of Corporate Espionage $4.99 In this penetrating work of investigative and historical journalism, Eamon Javers explores the dangerous and combustible power spies hold over international business. Today’s global economy has a dark underbelly: the world of corporate espionage. Using cutting-edge technology, age-old techniques of deceit and manipulation, and sheer talent, spies act as the hidden puppeteers of globalized businesses. They control markets, determine prices, influence corporate decisions, and manage the flow of data and information of some of the world’s biggest corporations. In his gripping and alarming book, Eamon Javers takes the reader inside this hidden global industry. Readers meet the spies who conduct surveillance operations, satellite analysts who peer down on corporate targets from the skies, veteran CIA officers who work for hedge funds, and even a Soviet military intelligence officer who now sells his services to American companies. This industry has tentacles in almost every industry in almost every corner of the globe. Intelligence companies and the spies they employ are setting up fake Web sites to elicit information, trailing individuals and mirroring travel itineraries, Dumpster-diving in household and corporate trash, using ultrasophisticated satellite surveillance to spy on facilities, acting as impostors to take jobs within companies or to gain access to corporations, concocting elaborate schemes of fraud and deceit, and hacking e-mail and secure computer networks. The work of this industry can be ingenious, but it also raises crucial moral and legal questions in a world where global conflicts are as likely to be corporation versus corporation as they are to be nation versus nation. This globalized industry is not a recent phenomenon, but rather a continuation of a fascinating history. The story begins with Allan Pinkerton, the nation’s first true “private eye,” and extends through the annals of a rich history that includes tycoons and playboys, presidents and FBI operatives, CEOs and accountants, Cold War veterans and military personnel. Built on exclusive reporting and unprecedented access, this book features accounts of Howard Hughes’s private CIA, the extensive spying that took place in a battle between two global food companies, and interviews with some of the world’s top corporate surveillance experts. |

Bloodmoney: A Novel of Espionage $9.99 From the author of the best-selling Body of Lies and The Increment : in a tragedy of revenge, the CIA falls victim to its own daring operation in the Middle East. Someone in Pakistan is killing the members of a new CIA intelligence unit that is trying to buy peace with America’s enemies. It falls to Sophie Marx, a young CIA officer with a big chip on her shoulder, to figure out who’s doing the killing and why. Her starting point is Alphabet Capital, the London hedge fund that has been providing cover for this secret operation, but the investigation soon widens to include the capitals of the Middle East and the cruel hills of South Waziristan. Sophie thinks she has the backing of her hard-nosed boss, Jeffrey Gertz, and his genial mentor at headquarters, Cyril Hoffman. In addition, she gets help from the well-mannered lieutenant general heading Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate. But the closer Sophie gets to her quarry, the more she realizes that nothing in this gallery of mirrors is quite what it seems. This is a theater of violence and retribution, in which the last act is one that Sophie could not have imagined. David Ignatius has written a disturbing and compelling novel where the price of unchecked government is paid in blood, and peace can be bought only through betrayal. |

The Terminal Spy: A True Story Of Espionage, Betrayal And Murder $9.29 In a page-turning narrative that reads like a thriller, an award-winning journalist exposes the troubling truth behind the world’s first act of nuclear terrorism. On November 1, 2006, Alexander Litvinenko sipped tea in London’s Millennium Hotel. Hours later the Russian émigré and former intelligence officer, who was sharply critical of Russian president Vladimir Putin, fell ill and within days was rushed to the hospital. Fatally poisoned by a rare radioactive isotope slipped into his drink, Litvinenko issued a dramatic deathbed statement accusing Putin himself of engineering his murder. Alan S. Cowell, then London Bureau Chief of the New York Times, who covered the story from its inception, has written the definitive story of this assassination and of the profound international implications of this first act of nuclear terrorism. Who was Alexander Litvinenko? What had happened in Russia since the end of the cold war to make his life there untenable and in severe jeopardy even in England, the country that had granted him asylum? And how did he really die? The life of Alexander Litvinenko provides a riveting narrative in its own right, culminating in an event that rang alarm bells among western governments at the ease with which radioactive materials were deployed in a major Western capital to commit a unique crime. But it also evokes a wide range of other issues: Russia’s lurch to authoritarianism, the return of the KGB to the Kremlin, the perils of a new cold war driven by Russia’s oil riches and Vladimir Putin’s thirst for power. Cowell provides a remarkable and detailed reconstruction both of how Litvinenko died and of the issues surrounding his murder. Drawing on exclusive reporting from Britain, Russia, Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the United States, he traces in unprecedented detail the polonium trail leading from Russia’s closed nuclear cities through Moscow and Hamburg to the Millenium Hotel in central London. He provides the most detailed step-by-step explanation of how and where polonium was found; how the assassins tried on several occasions to kill Litvinenko; and how they bungled a conspiracy that may have had more targets than Litvinenko himself. With a colorful cast that includes the tycoons, spies, and killers who surrounded Litvinenko in the roller-coaster Russia of the 1990s, as well as the émigrés who flocked to London in such numbers that the British capital earned the sobriquet "Londongrad," this book lays out the events that allowed an accused killer to escape prosecution in a delicate diplomatic minuet that helped save face for the authorities in London and Moscow. A masterful work of investigative reporting, The Terminal Spy offers unprecedented insight into one of the most chilling true stories of our time. |

Castles Made of Sand: A Century of Anglo-American Espionage and Intervention in the Middle East $6.99 With roots in imperialism and the nineteenth-century mindset of the “Great Game,” Western nations have waged an intricate spy game this past century to establish control over the Middle East, secure access to key resources and regions of commerce, and prevent the spread of Soviet communism into the region. From the Suez Canal to the former Ottoman Empire, British and American intelligence communities have conspired to topple regimes and initiate Muslim leaders as pawns in a geopolitical chess game fought against Marxist expansion. Yet while the Iron Curtain was doomed to fall near the end of the twentieth century, this pattern of tunnel vision has created a different monster. The resulting resurgence of Muslim radicalism, and the induction of Arabs and other Muslims into the dark arts of espionage and sabotage, have only served to fan the flames in an already incendiary region and deepen the tensions between the Middle East and the West today. An authority on international studies and the history of guerilla warfare, André Gerolymatos offers the contemporary reader insight into the intelligence game that is still waged internationally with lethal intent, and into the Middle Eastern terrorist networks that had evolved over the decades. In this definitive account of covert operations in the Middle East, the author brings to life the extraordinary men and women whose successes and failures have shaped relations, and he reveals how the explosive nature of the region today has direct roots in the history of American and Western intervention. |

Agent Zigzag: A True Story Of Nazi Espionage Love And Betrayal $9.89 Eddie Chapman was a charming criminal a con man and a philanderer. He was also one of the most remarkable double agents Britain has ever produced. Inside the traitor was a man of loyalty; inside the villain was a hero. The problem for Chapman his spymasters and his lovers was to know where one persona ended and the other began. In 1941 after training as a German spy in occupied France Chapman was parachuted into Britain with a revolver a wireless and a cyanide pill with orders from the Abwehr to blow up an airplane factory. Instead he contacted MI5 the British Secret Service. For the next four years Chapman worked as a double agent a lone British spy at the heart of the German Secret Service who at one time volunteered to assassinate Hitler for his countrymen. Crisscrossing Europe under different names all the while weaving plans spreading disinformation and miraculously keeping his stories straight under intense interrogation he even managed to gain some profit and seduce beautiful women along the way. The Nazis feted Chapman as a hero and awarded him the Iron Cross. In Britain he was pardoned for his crimes becoming the only wartime agent to be thus rewarded. Both countries provided for the mother of his child and his mistress. Sixty years after the end of the war and ten years after Chapman’s death MI5 has now declassified all of Chapman’s files releasing more than 1 800 pages of top secret material and allowing the full story of Agent Zigzag to be told for the first time. A gripping story of loyalty love and treachery Agent Zigzag offers a unique glimpse into the psychology of espionage with its thin and shifting line between fidelity and betrayal. From the Hardcover edition. |

Roosevelt’s Secret War: Fdr And World War II Espionage $10.49 Despite all that has already been written on Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Joseph Persico has uncovered a hitherto overlooked dimension of FDR’s wartime leadership: his involvement in intelligence and espionage operations. Roosevelt’s Secret War is crowded with remarkable revelations: -FDR wanted to bomb Tokyo before Pearl Harbor -A defector from Hitler’s inner circle reported directly to the Oval Office -Roosevelt knew before any other world leader of Hitler’s plan to invade Russia -Roosevelt and Churchill concealed a disaster costing hundreds of British soldiers’ lives in order to protect Ultra, the British codebreaking secret -An unwitting Japanese diplomat provided the President with a direct pipeline into Hitler’s councils Roosevelt’s Secret War also describes how much FDR had been told–before the Holocaust–about the coming fate of Europe’s Jews. And Persico also provides a definitive answer to the perennial question Did FDR know in advance about the attack on Pearl Harbor? By temperament and character, no American president was better suited for secret warfare than FDR. He manipulated, compartmentalized, dissembled, and misled, demonstrating a spymaster’s talent for intrigue. He once remarked, "I never let my right hand know what my left hand does." Not only did Roosevelt create America’s first central intelligence agency, the OSS, under "Wild Bill" Donovan, but he ran spy rings directly from the Oval Office, enlisting well-placed socialite friends. FDR was also spied against . Roosevelt’s Secret War presents evidence that the Soviet Union had a source inside the Roosevelt White House; that British agents fed FDR total fabrications to draw the United States into war; and that Roosevelt, by yielding to Churchill’s demand that British scientists be allowed to work on the Manhattan Project, enabled the secrets of the bomb to be stolen. And these are only a few of the scores of revelations in this constantly surprising story of Roosevelt’s hidden role in World War II. |

Wild Bill Donovan: The Spymaster Who Created The Oss And Modern American Espionage $9.99 He was one of America’s most exciting and secretive generals the man Franklin Roosevelt made his top spy in World War II. A mythic figure whose legacy is still intensely debated "Wild Bill" Donovan was director of the Office of Strategic Services (the country’s first national intelligence agency) and the father of today’s CIA. Donovan introduced the nation to the dark arts of covert warfare on a scale it had never seen before. Now veteran journalist Douglas Waller has mined government and private archives throughout the United States and England drawn on thousands of pages of recently declassified documents and interviewed scores of Donovan’s relatives friends and associates to produce a riveting biography of one of the most powerful men in modern espionage. William Joseph Donovan’s life was packed with personal drama. The son of poor Irish Catholic parents he married into Protestant wealth and fought heroically in World War I where he earned the nickname "Wild Bill" for his intense leadership and the Medal of Honor for his heroism. After the war he made millions as a Republican lawyer on Wall Street until FDR a Democrat tapped him to be his strategic intelligence chief. A charismatic leader Donovan was revered by his secret agents. Yet at times he was reckless risking his life unnecessarily in war zones engaging in extramarital affairs that became fodder for his political enemies and he endured heartbreaking tragedy when family members died at young ages. Wild Bill Donovan reads like an action-packed spy thriller with stories of daring young men and women in his OSS sneaking behind enemy lines for sabotage breaking into Washington embassies to steal secrets plotting to topple Adolf Hitler and suffering brutal torture or death when they were captured by the Gestapo. It is also a tale of political intrigue of infighting at the highest levels of government of powerful men pitted against one another. Donovan fought enemies at home as often as the Axis abroad. Generals in the Pentagon plotted against him. J. Edgar Hoover had FBI agents dig up dirt on him. Donovan stole secrets from the Soviets before the dawn of the Cold War and had intense battles with Winston Churchill and British spy chiefs over foreign turf. Separating fact from fiction Waller investigates the successes and the occasional spectacular failures of Donovan’s intelligence career. It makes for a gripping and revealing portrait of this most controversial spymaster. |

Treachery: Betrayals, Blunders and Cover-Ups: Six Decades of Espionage $38.79 <p>In <i>Treachery</i>, noted intelligence authority Chapman Pincher takes issue with the recently published authorised history of M15, stating that it might more accurately be referred to as ‘the sanitised history’. He makes a compelling case, fortified by a mass of new information, that Roger Hollis, head of MI5 from 1956 to 1965, was himself a double agent, acting to undermine and imperil the UK and America.</p><p> </p><p> Myriad intriguing case histories are portrayed here, including that of Lt Igor Gouzenko, a Red Army cipher clerk whose 1945 disclosure of a mole in MI5 touched off the Cold War. With a mass of new evidence, some from Russian sources, Pincher also provides exciting new perspectives on other infamous operatives, including Kim Philby and Klaus Fuchs. Perhaps most explosively, Pincher posits that long after Hollis stepped down, a cover-up was perpetrated at the highest levels, even involving Margaret Thatcher, to conceal the truth for ever – a deception that continues today.</p> |
