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.
Critical Questions Answered
- How and where do major IP leakages occur in the industrial process?
- How to avoid IP theft during design, manufacturing, and post-market?
- Who are the vendors offering products, solutions, and services to avoid data IP theft?
Who Should Read This?
- Vendors providing IP theft prevention solutions.
- Industrial organizations assessing mitigation strategies to avoid espionage and IP theft.
- Firms that deploy third-party contract manufacturing.
- Firms that have operations or contracts in high-risk IP geolocations.
- Leading-edge technology, namely pharmaceuticals, energy, defense, semiconductors and telcos, where IP vulnerabilities are costly.
