Corporate espionage occurs more often than you may think. Theft of trade secrets and unfair competition are usually at play. Let’s say your business is working on a new design for an outdated product. Or, developed a more efficient, cleaner process. Or, created a disruptive technology that will cause a dynamic shift in its industry. It has the potential to make a lot of money. It will change the existing norms.
Perhaps well established market leaders will lose market share as a result. Maybe it’s one of those products, processes or technologies that has applications in several industries. It will change how people live their lives. It will fill a gap that has long needed to be addressed. It’s a design, process or technology that leaves others green with envy. And, those who tried to create it and failed are NOT very happy for your company’s success. This is the type of breakthrough that can create the perfect storm for a corporate espionage attack.
