%X The world of counter-intelligence is one in which truth, lies and deception converge in perhaps the most sophisticated manner. As a result of this reality, intelligence organisations are forced to take extensive measures to ensure that the right people are employed and that in the event of a breach, damage is limited. In attempting to weave their way through this intricate maze in a most effective manner, a balance must be struck between security and operational effectiveness. Counter-intelligence can be defined as intelligence gathered about an adversary¡¯s intelligence activities and capabilities to unmask and inhibit adversarial intelligence operations and capabilities. This can involve various types of action to prevent or neutralise hostile intelligence successes against national interests.
