Economic espionage and industrial espionage:
There are many unreported cases of economic and industrial espionage. Espionage attacks and attempted data theft frequently go undetected due to a lack of awareness of the dangers and the security measures required to protect sensitive information.
What is the difference between economic and industrial espionage?
The terms economic espionage and industrial espionage are often used interchangeably, but there are significant differences. Economic espionage has a broader national or international focus, while industrial espionage focuses specifically on individual companies or industries. Both forms of espionage are illegal and cause considerable economic damage.
