Агенство установило, что 24 страны осуществляют промышленный шпионаж, и, как утверждает представитель CSIS Г.Блайз, часть из них интересуется канадскими фирмами. Он отмечает, что фирмам необходимо застраховаться на любой случай жизни, начиная от простого фальсифицирования и взлома компьютерной системы до недовольных сотрудников, способных выдать секреты фирмы. И хотя любая компания может стать жертвой промышленного шпионажа, CSIS определило 9 основных секторов, как наиболее вероятные оюъекты шпионажа. Ответственным работникам, путешествующим с портативными компьютерами, следует позаботиться как о безопасности информации на жестких дисках, так и о сохранности своего компьютера.

"U.S. Firms' '97 Losses to Spies Put at $300 Billion"
I. Read the text.
Foreign AND DOMESTIC spies dramatically stepped up their activities in the United States during the course of 1997, draining U.S.-based companies of an estimated $300 billion worth of intellectual property, according to a new national survey conducted by the"American Society for Industrial Security (ASIS). The survey, released on Wednesday, Jan 14, shows that more than 1,100 documented incidents of industrial espionage were reported last year by major U.S. companies. According to the ASIS report, high-tech firms were the most frequently targeted by foreign spies, followed by manufacturing interests and service companies.
U.S. firms victimized by espionage losses in 1997 said the types of data most commonly pilfered by spies included research and development strategies, manufacturing and marketing plans, and customer lists. FBl officials confirmed the seriousness of the survey results, warning American industries that the government of at least 23 foreign nations are targeting U.S. firms. The companies that are the most active on the espionage front include China, Japan, Russia, South Korea, and Germany.
A 1996 Economic Espionage Act makes theft of proprietary economic information in the United States a felony punishable by a $10 million fine and 15-year prison sentence. Urging U.S. firms to notify the FBI if they suspected economic espionage, Larry Torrence, deputy assistant director of national security, told the daily: "The odds are not favorable for any American company when they are targeted for clandestine action by some country’s intelligence service." The society's periodic surveys, which FBI Director Louis Freeh has cited in congressional testimony, provided the federal government with its only estimate of potential damage from economic espionage, the newspaper said.
The 1997 survey disclosed that high-tech companies, especially in Silicon Valley in California, were the most frequent targets of foreign spies, followed by manufacturing and service industries.”Among the spies' most sought-after information were research and development strategies, manufacturing and marketing plans and customer lists. The FBI as a matter of policy, did not identify governments that sponsored economic espionage, the daily said. But in a recent article in an academic journal, an FBI agent who worked in the field named some of the countries and provided a rare look into commercial spying by foreign intelligence services. France, Germany, Israel, China, Russia and South Korea were named as major offenders in The article by FBI agent Edwin Fraumann which appeared in Public Administration Review published by the American Society for Public Administration, the Times reported.
