al-istakhbaraat al-muDaada (generic functional title)
Explanation:
Greetings:

Two generic Arabic terms have been used to refer to the function of counterintelligence (US mil abreviation = CI):

o al-istakhbaraat al-muDaada

o al-istakhbaraat al-3aakssa

FWIW, equivalent Arabic terms for:

o signal intelligence (US mil abbreviation = SIGINT): istakhbaraat al-ishaarat

o human intelligence (US mil abbreviation = HUMINT) = istakhbaraat al-muwaared al-beshriiya

(HUMINT, by military doctrine, refers to that intelligence information elicited and collected from human sources)

HTH. Khair, in sha' Allah.

Definition from Cambridge Dictionary
Counterintelligence
secret action taken by a country to prevent another country from discovering its military, industrial or political secrets.

If this not counter espionage what could it be?
