Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Counterintelligence is the process of identifying, assessing, and neutralizing threats posed by foreign intelligence services or other entities seeking to gather information that could harm national security or business operations. It involves implementing measures such as background checks, security clearances, and physical and electronic security controls to protect sensitive information from unauthorized disclosure. Data loss prevention, trade secret, and competitive intelligence are related concepts but do not describe the specific steps an organization takes to protect against hostile intelligence gathering.
