description   The article presents the activities of the counterintelligence in a context of doctrinal update, in order to establish the operational procedures that allow this activity to be more visible, given that it defends state interests and therefore should be associated with activities governed by legality, as well as public control. A descriptive process of such activities is proposed, considering some countries in the Andean region, North America and Europe, as well as the availability of legal and doctrinal sustenance. This allows knowing the trends currently in force in this field. It also allows to describe and propose possible strategies and the corresponding lines of action in the field of counterintelligence, systematically controlled by the states that require them. With this background, there is a need to configure counterintelligence strategies and lines of action, which would improve security and external support to better address risk factors and threats that would affect the society, the state and its institutions.

El artículo presenta las actividades que corresponden a la contrainteligencia en un contexto de actualización doctrinaria, con la finalidad de establecer los procedimientos operativos que permitan visibilizar esta actividad que, al defender los intereses estatales, debe estar asociada con actividades regidas por la legalidad, así como el control público. Se plantea un proceso descriptivo de las actividades de este tipo, tomando en cuenta algunos países de la región andina, de Norteamérica y de Europa, considerando la disponibilidad de sustentos legales y doctrinarios. Ello permite conocer las tendencias vigentes en el campo de estudios. Igualmente, permite describir y plantear posibles estrategias y las correspondientes líneas de acción, controladas sistemáticamente por los Estados que las requieran. Con esos antecedentes, se evidencia la necesidad de configurar las mencionadas estrategias y líneas de acción de la contrainteligencia, que permitan mejorar la seguridad y el apoyo externo para enfrentar en mejores condiciones los factores de riesgo y las amenazas que afectarían a la sociedad, al Estado y sus instituciones.
