Один из злободневных вопросов нашего времени — существует ли IW в сфере бизнеса и является ли Интернет главным оружием этой войны.
Так как настоящие военные действия не велись, то бои шли на информационном уровне.
Говорят, что мир стал демократичнее, однако для многих он кажется более жестоким.
Орудие, которое используется для этой цели — разведка.
Преимущества Интернета — скорость, доступность и низкая стоимость.
Сложность заключается в том, чтобы найти необходимую и полезную информацию.
Деловой мир может сам создать сильно централизованную разведывательную систему Интернета с быстрой доставкой информации по разумным ценам.

Spooks warn Canuck firms being haunted

Canadian Press
OTTAWA - Foreign governments are snooping on Canadian firms in the lucrative was of industrial espionage.
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service is warning executives that, the more high-profile their company, the more likely it is to be a target, in Canada or abroad.
The agency has determined that 24 countries are conducting covert industrial espionage and that a number of these have been concentrating on Canadian companies, says CSIS spokesman Gaetan Blais.
CSIS has been in touch with 1,600 Canadian companies since 1992. "The point is for people not to bring too much sensitive stuff with them and, if they do so, always carry the sensitive information with them."
The Province
Companies should be on the lockout for everything from simple brief-case-tampering and break-and-enter to disgruntled employees who could pass on trade secrets, he says.
Although any company can be a victim of industrial espionage, CSIS has identified nine sectors as the most likely targets:
Aerospace; biotechnology; chemicals; communications; computers and other information technology; mining and metalurgy; oil and gas; nuclear technology; environmental technology.
Executives travelling with laptops should be as concerned about theft of information on the hard drive as losing the computer, says Security expert Marylu Korkuch.
