Information is the lifeblood of any organization, and our not-for-profit organizations often deal with very sensitive personal information.
Irrespective of whether you are intending to work around the corner at your preferred coffee shop, in an airport lounge while waiting to catch a domestic flight, about to embark on overseas travel or to attend a conference, there are common requirements when information is being used outside of the regular office environment.
All business and social engagements present an opportunity for individuals, be they criminals, commercial entities, or even foreign operatives and political activists, to acquire information.
Intelligence and criminal entities understand the ‘value-chain’ of information, and that the best way to obtain sensitive information, is never in a straight line but rather a circuitous complex web of connections and social interactions with personnel at any level within the target organisation.
Obtaining information is about establishing ‘connections’. The nature of information surveillance and gathering is that information grows in value and sensitivity as more is obtained. No matter the level, position, time you’ve worked at a location, what you do for work or perception of your value as an employee, you can be certain that you are a starting point to obtain further information in the ‘value-chain’.
(including information stored on mobile devices such as telephones, tablets and laptops or USB memory sticks etc.)
(bus, train, airports, planes, hotels etc.)
Complimentary services and products offered to travellers may expose you to digital espionage.
