The explosion of information technology has brought much efficiency to employers but also many challenges. Important company data of every kind is easily accessible to a broad range of employees. Financial and customer data, sales and sales leads information, are only the most obvious. By pushing a few buttons, that data can easily be downloaded and forwarded to separate systems. Serious loss of competitive advantage can occur in the blink of an eye.
The good news for employers is that incursions into company data leave footprints that can be traced. Investigation of systems, computer hard drives and network server history will reveal a detailed record of any data accessed, forwarded or deleted. Most likely, the individual responsible will also be easily identified.
