Hello, [REDACTED]:
Welcome to part 2/2 in a series that has gone from 5 parts, to 4 parts... I think you can see where this went. This will be the first time this class has been taught, and I've built it myself. If you enjoyed Intro to Espionage, you'll probably like this as well. It is not required that you have attended my Espionage class to understand this one.
This is a very difficult topic! Counter-intelligence(CI) in EVE shares a lot with cybersecurity, plus the fine balance of trust and fun with protection. Some consider it the hardest career path you can take. I was certainly not expecting this stuff to be as interesting as straight-up espionage. Espionage may not be quite like what you see in the movies, but CI certainly is. Most of the work is done in secret, and 90% of your success is nothing happening. Failure is public and more scrutinized.
CI is all about trying to stay just one step ahead of potential spais. Ethics are also more/less complicated than a spy. You're one of the "good guys"! But, how far is too far? How do you manage a team of agents? How do we deal with defectors and double agents? As this is an introductory course, we'll go over a brief overview of the art of spy-catching without too much depth. It's a game of cat and mouse, and we don't want anyone getting too much of an advantage here.
