Corporate Intelligence: How HUMINT Protects Your Business from Hidden Threats

In today’s complex business landscape, companies are constantly exposed to threats that technology alone can’t always detect. Corporate intelligence, particularly Human Intelligence (HUMINT), is essential in proactively identifying these hidden threats and safeguarding your business assets, reputation, and competitive advantage.

According to Forbes, Intellectual Property (IP) theft alone, which covers various types of infringement including counterfeiting, piracy, and trade secret theft, costs the US economy up to $600 billion annually. Forbes points out that beyond the economic cost, using, reproducing, or distributing someone else’s creations, inventions, or ideas poses a threat to innovation.

Exposing Medical Device IP Theft

In the case of a medical device company whose innovative solution was already in distribution, IP theft posed a major threat to their future survival. When a former founding member violated his non-compete agreement by secretly developing a competing product, our team confirmed the IP theft, providing legally admissible evidence that led to a settlement protecting the client’s IP and market position.

When Technology Fails: The Power of Human Intelligence in Business Protection

It’s not only insiders or former colleagues, but also competitors who can pose a significant threat to companies and the people leading them. When a disgruntled competitor who lost out on a lucrative deal sought to destroy the reputation of a leading businessman, cyber tech was unable to trace the culprit. It was Dionaea’s investigation that led to identifying the guilty party and putting a stop to the vicious online smear campaign.
