Industrial Espionage

Industrial Espionage – Industrial espionage is considered the gathering of information from a corporation for personal gain, with no concern for national security.  Industrial espionage, (also known as corporate espionage) can usually be traced to a theft by an insider.  The stealing of trade secrets or technological information for resale to another company or country would be a typical example of this type of espionage.  Spying, bribery, and blackmail are some of tactics that are used to obtain this valuable information.  This information is usually dangerous and detrimental to the security of a country or company.
