An employee may steal valuable trade secret information as seen at DuPont. However, not every business has these types of trade secrets. The type of information an employee is most likely to steal is the information needed to do his or her specific job, usually information that is readily available to them. To maintain a competitive advantage, the electronic information an employee uses everyday must be protected. Everyday employees have access to a wide variety of electronic information which range from important (email lists and non-financial business information), to confidential (customer information), to private (employee records), through the most sensitive and potentially damaging data: financial records, databases with enormous company history, trade secrets and intellectual property.
