Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM)

Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) are defensive measures aimed at detecting, neutralizing, and preventing electronic eavesdropping, espionage, and unauthorized surveillance threats. TSCM operations involve using specialized equipment to detect hidden microphones, cameras, and other surveillance devices in secured environments. It is commonly used by governments, corporations, and high-security facilities to safeguard sensitive information. Techniques include radio frequency (RF) spectrum analysis, thermal imaging, and physical searches to uncover unauthorized devices. TSCM teams often consist of highly trained professionals skilled in counter-surveillance and anti-espionage. The goal is to ensure privacy and maintain the integrity of secure communications.
