Mitigating Cybersecurity Risks to Your Company’s Confidential Information from Exiting Employees

In the modern workplace, keeping track of proprietary information and ensuring its confidentiality has become significantly more challenging due to the prevalence of remote employees, cloud computing, and the comingling of personal and company devices that can access company information. Employers who are not conscientious about maintaining the confidentiality of their proprietary information can threaten the viability of their business moving forward. Exiting employees can more easily than ever attempt to take company information with them, delete essential company documents, or even try to publish proprietary documents in an attempt to destroy their former employer’s competitive advantage.
During this webinar, participants learned about:
• Guidelines for identifying cybersecurity risks during employee exits, whether through layoffs, downsizing, or involuntary terminations;
• Tips for protecting trade secrets and confidential information at work through strict confidentiality policies and access restrictions;
• Best practices for protecting company information when offboarding exiting employees; and
• Legal options for recovering company information or property from disagreeable former employees.
