In the world of international espionage, where nations deploy spies to target and infiltrate other countries, the profile of a spy has evolved, and comes in many different personas.
There are spies working at foreign embassies posing as diplomats, and officials or politicians on the “inside” that are compromised, paid, subsequently turned. There are deep cover intelligence agents that lead seemingly legitimate lives in-country, assuming roles such as business owner or executive to blend in. Then there are sleeper cells, individuals or groups that play the long game – building relationships, observing, and establishing trust of the people they are targeting for espionage.
A recent article exposed how Russia’s intelligence network operates across Europe, offering an insider-look at how the country developed and positioned its spy apparatus. Some of these techniques are being applied to corporate espionage operations here in the United States as well as around the world.
Commercial enterprises and high-profile individuals are increasingly becoming targets of international and domestic espionage operations. From technology and intellectual property to corporate strategy and go-to-market campaigns, data, communications, and privacy can be easily compromised.
