CCI -Cyber Counter Intelligence
Counterintelligence is as old of a tradecraft as intelligence operations. The concept is simple: provide protection against foreign/competitors intelligence operations. The goal with counterintelligence is to prevent, deter, defeat, or manipulate the adversary from conducting intelligence operations on you,those you protect, or your organization to include its operations.
With the unique aspects of cyberspace though, North-RICA Red Team have to draw some contrasts between traditional counterintelligence and cyber counterintelligence.
If North-RICA Red Team limited CCI to only focus on intrusionby adversary foreign governments or intelligence services many of the scenarios would be overlooked.
However, North-RICA Red Team cannot simply apply all defensive actions meant to prevent intrusions into the field of CCI.
