Opis

Most employeers are astounded at how easily and quickly their proprietary information can get out of their control. In a large number of cases, theft of trade secrets often involves employees leaving a company to start their own business or work for a direct competitor.

Nearly all books that address the topic of trade secrets have the "spy vs. spy" perspective. The author approaches the topic from a practical business perspective and not simply creating "paranoia" for paranoia's sake. The material for this book comes from the author's extensive work experience as a computer forensics consultant and manager on numerous theft of trade secrets cases.

No-nonsense solutions to the most common intellectual property problems facing security managers, computer security professionals, corporate legal counsel, and human resource managers

Sample agreements and forms that address specific business needs

Coverage of threats ranging from physical security lapses to hackers to social engineering
