CONFIDENTIALITY
INFORMATION-
is a valuable asset, and its leakage can result in significant financial losses and reputational damage.
Data breaches often occur silently, yet their consequences can cost businesses millions. These incidents may stem from deliberate data leak by an employee, external cyberattacks, interception of corporate communications, or even accidental access to confidential information by unauthorised persons. Many leaks are caused by insecure digital systems, lack of access control, or human error. The key to effective protection lies in proactively identifying vulnerabilities and mitigating risks before they escalate into serious threats to the company.
INDUSTRIAL ESPIONAGE
METHODS AND CHANNELS
One of the most dangerous channels of information leakage is a company's own employees. These can be either disgruntled employees or those who have been persuaded by competitors or third parties to cooperate. They can pass on confidential documents, customer databases, financial reports, or even sell trade secrets. Often, these people receive bribes or personal benefits for leaking data, but sometimes they simply share information out of carelessness.
Hacker attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Attackers u employ a wide range of techniques—including phishing schemes, malicious software (viruses, trojans, and malware), and counterfeit websites—to infiltrate corporate networks. One mistake and an attacker can gain access to company databases, commercial agreements, correspondence with partners, or even completely block business processes.
Spies can use listening devices, fake Wi-Fi networks in public places or hacked corporate messengers to obtain valuable information. Insufficiently protected electronic communications, lack of encryption or neglect of cybersecurity basics pave the way for attackers to steal or alter important data.
One of the most effective ways to obtain information is not to attack the security system, but to use the human factor. Attackers can pose as partners, journalists, job candidates, or even company employees to get valuable details in a conversation. The use of fake social media profiles, phone calls, or meetings are common methods of obtaining critical information.
Listening devices, hidden cameras, keyloggers, GPS trackers - all of these can be used to obtain commercial information. Attackers can plant these devices in workplaces, company cars, or even in employees' personal belongings. Often, these methods are used to monitor company executives or key business figures.
