"In 2006, for example, Lehman Brothers Inc. (LEH ) quietly promoted 35-year CIA veteran Ted Price from its corporate-security department to head the firm's Indian operations, based in Mumbai. Price was deputy director of operations at the CIA before becoming an investment banking executive. Earlier this year, Mike Baker, a 16-year CIA veteran, launched a corporate-intelligence firm, Prescience, in New Canaan, Conn., to serve hedge fund clients."

Corporate intelligence-gathering has grown in both magnitude and sophistication since 9/11, experts in the field say, in part because big companies are either hiring or contracting with intelligence veterans. Lehman Brothers, for example, brought in Ted Price, former deputy director of operations at the Central Intelligence Agency, to be its head of global corporate security after 9/11. Senior security executives at big corporations meet regularly with local and national intelligence and law-enforcement agencies. But whenever there is an elevated threat--the current one started six months ago with rising insurgency in Iraq, the destabilization of Saudi Arabia, and the likelihood of an attack prior to the U.S. elections--many firms also turn to private intelligence analysts like Austin-based Stratfor, Jane's Information Group (an offshoot of the venerable British military catalogers), the Economist Intelligence Unit, and Marsh & McLennan's Marsh Kroll subsidiary.
