Each year, intellectual property theft is costing US companies more than $300 billion dollars. Commercial espionage affects virtually the entire corporate community and the incidence of these acts is growing at an alarming rate. Proprietary information is being gathered by governments, local and international competitors, organizations, criminals, terrorists and individuals. They are seeking any information they can gather relative to your company's sophisticated technologies, manufacturing processes, software and hardware, research and development, formulas, inventions, cost structure, financial data, trade secrets and other sensitive information.

Individual corporate employees are also being targeted. Commercial espionage is often focused on obtaining personal information on your company's senior level executives and other personnel.
