Analysis of Vulnerability to Espionage (AIVD)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(OSINFO) The Dutch Minister of the Interior and Kingdom Relations (BZK)
acknowledges that economic, strategic, technical and scientific espionage
form a current threat to Dutch national safety and security. To gain a
deeper understanding of this threat, and in order to make recommendations
for its further reduction, the General Intelligence and Security Service of
the Netherlands (AIVD) and the Directorate General for Safety and Security
(DGV) at the Ministry of BZK have jointly analysed the risks from espionage
in the areas of economic welfare & scientific potential, public
administration and critical infrastructure. In the process of conducting
its counterespionage analyses, the AIVD has observed that a number of
foreign intelligence services are actively gathering information in sectors
within these areas of attention.

Report: Congress on Foreign Economic Collection/Industrial Espionage
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(securityprivacyandthelaw) Report to Congress on Foreign Economic
Collection and Industrial Espionage 2009-2011:
With an inflammatory title like "Foreign Spies Stealing US Economic Secrets
in Cyberspace," the Office of the National Counterintelligence Executive's
"Report to Congress on Foreign Economic Collection and Industrial
Espionage, 2009-2011" is tough to ignore.
Foreign economic collection and industrial espionage against the United
States represent significant and growing threats to the nation's prosperity
and security. Cyberspace—where most business activity and development of
new ideas now takes place—amplifies these threats by making it possible for
malicious actors, whether they are corrupted insiders or foreign
intelligence services (FIS), to quickly steal and transfer massive
quantities of data while remaining anonymous and hard to detect.
