Make sure your protect your intellectual property - losing it to theft can wreck your business.

Our reliance on computer systems to run our businesses, store our important files and preserve our competitive edge has given a whole new impetus to the theft of intellectual property - it's a growing industry in itself. David Caldwell, Executive Director for Forensic IT with Ferrier Hodgson and a former police computer crime investigator, says departing employees present the most common problem, by emailing files to their homes, copying them on to USBs or simply photocopying them. If you suspect a problem, it's important to act quickly - the future of your business could be at stake. External threats are common too: "phishing" emails inviting you to open attachments can open your entire network to theft.
