If your company has never had a cyber TSCM sweep, it is time. Any company is at risk for corporate espionage. The companies that are most at risk are those that deal with influential companies and executives, whether lawyers or accountants – their information is very likely to become attacked in order for competitors to get a hold of vital information. Many times spies will go after the files at places, such as lawyers or accountants, rather than going after the information at the corporation itself. It has been shown that the files lawyers and accountants hold are less secure than the files at individual corporations.
While companies might take precautions to prevent spies from planting electronic listening devices in the office, computers and their risk are often highly overlooked. Since a large majority of information is passed electronically, computers and their networks are the number one risk for most companies, including corporations, lawyers and accountants. Technological spying is extremely easy for anyone to do, even a novice. Since it can be done remotely, there typically is no evidence that any wrongdoing has taken place, putting you and your company at high risk for private information being leaked out. The best way to prevent this from occurring is to use cyber TSCM services.
When you use a professional to perform cyber TSCM services on the technology at your office, you will learn how secure or unsecure your networks are and what the likelihood of someone getting a hold of your information is. In many cases when services are performed, infiltrations are found and removed, helping your company to become more secure. Unlike physical bugs, cyber bugs might not show any signs, making companies completely unaware they are being spied on. This is one of the worst forms of corporate espionage because damaging information can be leaked out for weeks or months without anyone being the wiser.
Your business is important to you, and you deserve to be able to keep it private. The risks of your company or even the lawyer or accountant for you company being spied on through today’s technology are very high. If anyone else has access to important information about you or your company, it is imperative that everyone has periodic cyber TSCM services to determine the security of their networks, as well as to determine if any information has already been spied upon.
