Wiretapping and bugging as a means of gathering confidential information illicitly was first introduced as far back as 1895. Since then, much has changed. Technological advances have paved the way for development of more sophisticated methods of electronic eavesdropping than ever before. As seen daily in newspapers around the world, there has been a phenomenal increase in the use of telephone wiretaps and hidden room bugs. Electronic eavesdropping has invaded and compromised homes and board rooms everywhere. An average room can contain up to 115 locations of hidden eavesdropping devices.

Information theft in the form of industrial spying can occur anywhere at all; even private conversations taking place on airplanes are not exempt from eavesdroppers. This is just one example of the capability of today's global spies. They can easily replace an ordinary desktop stapler with one containing a transmitter, attach a voice activated recorder under a desk or place a drop-in microphone in a telephone in less than 20 seconds.

Wherever competition exist or there is information which needs to be kept secret, there's likely to be some form of spying. As a result a vast new global market for ethical yet aggressive countermeasures has opened. Fortunately, the methods of protection have progressed rapidly. There is now a countermeasure for virtually everything and the best countermeasure tactic is to call us today.
