Field agent
In espionage, a field agent is an agent who works in the field as opposed to one who works at the office or headquarters. A field agent can work alone or in a group but usually has a case officer who is in charge.
Field agents can be undercover, and travel using fake passports that may be under the name of afront orga- nizationorshell corporation.
Field agents are often present in fiction,[1][2]though their duties and actions can be quite different in reality.[3]

Industrial espionage
Teapot with Actresses, Vezzi porcelain factory, Venice, c. 1725. The Vezzi brothers were involved in a series of incidents of in- dustrial espionage. It was these actions that led to the secret of manufacturingMeissen porcelainbecoming widely known. Industrial espionage, economic espionage or corpo- rate espionage is a form of espionage conducted for commercial purposes instead of purely national secu- rity.[1]Economic espionage is conducted or orchestrated by governments and is international in scope, while in- dustrial or corporate espionage is more often national and occurs between companies or corporations.[2]
