The Five Eyes coalition's principles focus on reducing the possibility of IP theft, particularly from nation-state-sponsored threat actors.

The Five Eyes security alliance, made up of intelligence agencies from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the U.K. and the U.S., released on October 17, the Five Principles of Secure Innovation.

These principles provide startup founders and other business leaders with guidelines for keeping intellectual property safe from cyberwarfare actors, particularly state-sponsored actors.

Five Eyes officials express concerns about China-sponsored IP theft.

According to Tech Monitor, Five Eyes leaders speaking at a joint event in San Francisco on October 17, specifically pointed out possible risks to IP from threat actors operating out of China.

"Statements from the intelligence communities at the Five Eyes countries are a positive recognition of the persistent threat of Chinese espionage," said Ted Miracco, chief executive officer of app protection company Approov Mobile Security, in an email statement to TechRepublic.
