This week on Fed Access, Tiffany Lopez Winters, executive director of The National Trust Center, joined host Derrick Dortch to discuss how economic espionage is affecting small businesses, government contractors and federal agencies.

According to Winters, rogue nations are using cyber espionage to steal innovative technologies created and developed in the U.S. to enhance their own war fighting, agricultural and medical capabilities.
