Counterintelligence: William J. Tucker Breaks Down the Challenges | Episode 12

In this episode I'm talking to William J. Tucker about counterintelligence. It is a complex discipline that is often misunderstood - even by intelligence professionals. But it presents as many opportunities as it does challenges and this conversation hints at that. Like all intelligence disciplines, it is faced with a rapidly changing environment and overwhelming array of threats. The sheer number of threats, the scope of it all, will force the private sector and governments into far tighter partnerships as they struggle to protect intellectual capital and traditional intelligence targets. You can follow William J. Tucker on Twitter and read his guest posts on Blogs of War: Everybody Spies – and for Good Reason Hawaii a Priority Target for Foreign Espionage Would the U.S. Really Kill Edward Snowden? Snowden’s Snowjob?
