The second objective is to explain how companies can effectively protect the intelligence they possess. Drawing upon more than twenty years of extensive prior experience in intelligence and counterintelligence, Nolan offers a number of tools and techniques from which to select those most appropriate. Perhaps the best place to begin is to complete what he calls an intelligence audit. It consists of two different clusters of basic questions. The bad news is that any organization lacking such system remains vulnerable to adversaries who have such a system in place.
Organizations claim that their most valuable assets walk out the door at the end of each day.
As Nolan explains in Confidential , the implications of that statement often involve much more than generally realized. Nothing that Nolan recommends is either illegal or unethical. Indeed, most organizations make it so easy for competitors to obtain the information desired that there is no need for illegal or unethical initiatives. Purchase this book, follow its advice, and thereby enable your organization to obtain the information it needs while protecting from its competitors the information they would love to have.
