Intermediate polars represent a major fraction of all cataclysmic variables detected by INTEGRAL in hard X-rays. Nevertheless, only 25% of all known intermediate polars have been was detected in hard X-rays. This fact can be related to the activity state of these close interacting binaries. Multi-frequency (optical to X-ray) investigation of intermediate polars is essential to understand the physical mechanisms responsible for the observed activity of these objects.
