The Espionage Research Institute (ERI)is dedicated to collecting and promulgating information on hostile espionage activity.

That is done through the process of accepting, screening, and editing reports of hostile activity as they are received from ERI Associates and its Advisors.

The motto of ERI is: "The Biggest Mistake That We Can Make Would Be To Miss The Changes"
That expresses the basic reason that ERI exists. It attempts to keep all informed on hostile espionage activity that is directed against business and industry.

The membership of ERI consists of security practitioners, businessmen and corporate executives who have security responsibilities, and newcomers to the profession. In the case of the newcomers, ERI operates a mentoring program to help them along as they develop their knowledge and experience.

ERI is small and exclusive. Those interested in joining in its work may contact ERI for further information.
