Security 2012 Exhibition, to be held from July 25 – 27 at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, today announced that it will feature Australia’s first Corporate Spy School, developed by Specialist Corporate Intelligence Agency (SCIA). SCIA’s Corporate Spy School will offer businesses and government agencies a range of tailored trainings and seminars on corporate espionage and risk management.
With rapid advancements in technology, security is becoming a major concern for businesses who play a cat and mouse game with tech-savvy fraudsters. According to PWC’s sixth Global Economic Crime Survey, cybercrime now ranks as one of the top four economic crimes, and 56 per cent of respondents said the most serious fraud was an ‘inside job’. Reputation damage, loss of intellectual property and bankruptcy can be some of the serious consequences of cyber crime in the corporate sector.
For the Corporate Spy School training courses, SCIA will draw on its extensive experience in delivering the most advanced safety and security innovations to Australia’s leading corporations, through state-of-the-art surveillance equipment and the latest research methods and strategies. Using state of the art technology that only a handful of companies are licenced to operate in Australia, SCIA provides specialised services that protect company secrets and sensitive business information.
“While corporate espionage including Intellectual Property theft is on the rise in Australia, many business leaders fail to recognise the early warning signs in their organisation,” Navid Sobbi, CEO at Specialist Corporate Intelligence Agency, said. “That’s why we’re proud to take the wraps off our Corporate Spy School at Security 2012 Exhibition where we’re aiming to raise awareness for the issue and provide very practical tips that can help prevent fraud even before it happens.”
