Summary/Abstract: Counterintelligence includes protecting state secrets, counter-espionage and countering covert / clandestine / subversive activities. In this respect, it can be said that a conceptualization that covers all functions of counterintelligence will pave the way for the development of descriptive theories. In its assessment of counterintelligence, the CIA emphasizes three conceptual foundations: information, action and organization. In order to develop a theory of counterintelligence, it is necessary to develop concept sets based on knowledge and action and to conceptualize in this context. Loch Johnson divides counterintelligence into security and counterespionage, classifying security as defensive and counterespionage as offensive. This classification focuses on the action dimension of counterintelligence and ignores the information that emerges as a result of counterintelligence activities.
