The last point to be made on this subject is in regards to advice about what you should do in the event that you’ve already suffered from corporate espionage.

This can be tricky, as often times people will have little evidence that a crime has occurred, who is responsible for the crime, and who orchestrated the crime. After this, all that is left is hearsay, which won’t stand up in court or maybe not even in civil actions. For this situation, little options are left available to you, which is why it is so essential that you take precautions before any damage is caused.

Corporations have been known to go to what some would consider extreme lengths to protect information, and to acquire it as well. One such idea which they’ve been known to do is to provide a known spy with false information, thereby causing their competitor to expend capital on what will eventually be proven to be a dead end. This does present a certain amount of risk, so you should definitely depend upon the other points being made on here to decide upon the correct course of action for avoiding corporate espionage.
