Abstract
There are a much larger number of both present and emerging threats for modern business than ever before in history. Using only classical methods and tools for protecting the enterprises’ assets is no longer effective. More and more companies are implementing modern tools such as competitive intelligence and counterintelligence in order to survive in the new hypercompetitive global markets. Those companies strive to gain proactive knowledge for the environment in order to generate successful systems for corporate security and industrial counterespionage.
