Identifying foreign intelligence operations requires monitoring suspicious activities and questionable behavior, maintaining a high level of cybersecurity and physical security on networks, implementing strong authentication practices and logging systems for all internet-connected devices, conducting security training for personnel regularly, conducting routine vulnerability assessments of all critical network infrastructure and information technology resources, and ensuring that confidential data is protected through encryption or secure communication methods.

There are a number of activities which can indicate a foreign intelligence operation. Monitoring public sources for unusual patterns or increase in certain activity such as suspicious financial activity can help identify anomalies. Additionally, observing social media conversations and other digital interactions can offer insight on potential foreign activity. You should also be aware of unexplained technology problems, personnel recruitment or deployments, and other suspicious activities that are inconsistent with normal operations. It is important to have proper procedures in place to detect, protect against, respond to and recovery from these incidents when they arise in order to minimize the effects of the operation.
