Actionable Benefits
- Optimize a secure industrial design strategy that avoids Intellectual Property (IP) theft, including design blueprints, manufacturing formulas, and unpatented IPs.
- Assess data security solutions and plan strategies that address areas of high IP theft risk.
- Plan effective vendor marketing strategies to cover IP security through data protection and Identity and Access Management (IAM).
- Understand that IP security is not achieved through one-time solutions. Depending on the nature and location of the IP, different remedies may be required.
Research Highlights
- How to employ best practices to detect, deter, and protect IP infringement. If vendors cannot “detect” breaches, determent and protection will never happen.
- Company insiders are a growing threat to data security begging a comprehensive strategy; not just addressing the issue when employees leave a company.
- IP infringement occurs along the production chain in many forms, therefore, should be remedied based on the stage where IP is located.
- Internet of Things (IoT) connections and embracing Industry 4.0 increase exposure to IP data theft by contributing to more points of entry and expanding the attack surface.
