Protecting intellectual property & proprietary software
Tech companies rely on proprietary software and intellectual property (IP) for their competitive advantage. Securing these assets against theft or unauthorized access is vital, as losing IP to cybercriminals can lead to a direct financial loss and hurt long-term innovation.
Implement Intelectual Property encryption, monitor for insider threats and utilize secure development practices to protect proprietary assets.
Key Dangers & Risks:
Intellectual Property theft. Hackers target proprietary code, algorithms, and designs for illegal sale or to reverse-engineer.
Ransomware attacks. Ransomware can lock down crucial software and source code, holding them hostage for payment.
Insider threats. Employees or contractors with access to IP can intentionally or accidentally leak sensitive information.
