Information security deals with several different "trust" aspects of information. Another common term is information assurance. Information security is not confined to computer systems, nor to information in an electronic or machine readable form. It applies to all aspects of safeguarding or protecting information or data, in whatever form. Espionage is the governmental or corporate practice of obtaining secrets (spying) from rivals or enemies for military, political, or economic advantage. A spy is an agent employed to obtain such secrets. Historically the definition was restricted to a state spying on potential or actual enemies, primarily for military purposes, but has extended to spying involving corporations, known specifically as Industrial espionage. Most nations routinely spy on their enemies, and allies, although they generally deny this. At the heart of any profit-making company is sales. No matter how wonderful the technology or how dedicated the manufacturing staff, without sales, the company fails. To sell products and services, you need sources for identifying potential buyers. With a little ingenuity, you can probably create your own list of targeted sales leads, simply using your modem. The commands used to find files are similar to those used in traditional databases. Often, you can limit the search by library, date, file name, or file extension. You can search for text strings in the description of the contents of a file, or use key words. Data mining tools are intelligent pieces of software which use a variety of complicated techniques to reveal fundamental patterns in information. They've been described as "virtual data detectives". These technologies penetrate the surface of day-to-day data and go deep into information bases and warehouses to discover patterns, connections, trends and relationship - some obvious and some not - and then present the finding in a meaningful, often graphic, way.
