Every year, billions of dollars are lost to corporate espionage and intellectual property theft.
Business environments offer numerous opportunities for illicit devices to be deployed. Threats are not limited to professional eavesdroppers hired by competitors.
Foreign governments, ambitious employees and third parties susceptible to bribes are also players. Even amateur eavesdroppers can easily find a way to eavesdrop on private conversations or steal trade secrets. When a Bug goes undetected, there is no limit to the harm to a company’s competitiveness, bottom line and reputation.
The best way to protect your business from electronic espionage is to have a Corporate Bug Sweep performed.
After the initial consultation and casual walk-through of the business, we will devise a sweeping plan that best suits your circumstances. At this point, you can inform us of any off-limit zones if there are any. Sweeps of this nature are best scheduled for off hours and weekends to avoid alerting attackers who may be on the inside.
We check for all types of audio and video devices, old and new.
