Sabotage!

Sabotage

What is it and how can you find out more. Join Auspicium and My-CPE on April 3, 2024 and learn what sabotage is, what makes you vulnerable, and what to do if you are being sabotage. The course starts with a look back at some past sabotage events and why this triggered the enactment of the Espionage Act of 1917. It looks at cases where sabotage is happening today; especially due to the current state of affairs in the Middle East and Russia.

Sabotage happens and unless you know what to look for or which projects or operations to avoid, you may be the next victim. But who would do it. It can be:

  • An employee, especially one who is disgruntled or feeling underappreciated
  • Vendors, especially when they may be experiencing contract issues or slow payments
  • Protestors
  • Activists
  • Nation states
  • Competitors
  • Yourself – yes, sometimes we are our own worst enemy!

But can they really do damage to an organization? We will look at what what has been done, what can be done, and how it can be done. Issues may include:

  • Destruction of pipelines or distributing of shipping channels
  • Product Tampering
  • Stealing Trade secrets with an emphasis on corporate espionage
  • Arson
  • Sabotage computer systems
  • Social Engineering

Awareness: Understanding what sabotage is and how it manifests in various contexts can help individuals and organizations recognize when it’s occurring. This awareness is crucial for mitigating its effects and preventing further damage.

It is a call to action – we need to think about the risks before they occurr so effective mitigation and contingency plans can be implemented.
