Are Surveillance Devices readily available?
Many people believe that Surveillance devices are myths; however, surveillance devices are easily purchased on the open market. Moreover, as the value of protected information increases, the threat potential also increases. If your information has value, there is a potential threat.
Examples of commercial products
used as bugging devices:
• Many public announcement
systems use wireless microphones that are basically cheap high quality bugs.
• A baby monitor is
an excellent complete bugging system for less that $50.
• A high quality
"pin‑hole" lens chip camera can be purchased for less than
$150.
• Even Radio Shack
sells a wireless microphone kit for $11.95.
Although illegal in most countries, sophisticated eavesdropping devices are easily fabricated.
What is the solution?
• Periodic,
intensive, professional sweeps (performed by a well-trained and trustworthy
team) to completely sterilize the environment. This team should have the
best available equipment.
• Using in-house
security personnel to perform regular sweeps with company owned equipment. The
security team should have effective user friendly, affordable equipment
• Real-time and continuous
monitoring of important meetings and discussion areas.
Continuous monitoring requires
equipment with automatic programming and threat detection capabilities.
