Study Finds Employees Disclose Company Secrets by Email
A new study found that one out of twenty employees has sent company secrets to third parties via email. The study also found that 1/4 forward company email to their personal account, and nearly 2/3 use their personal email addresses for business use.
Two things to take away from this study: first, a company must keep a very watchful eye to protect its trade secrets; second, asking and responding to discovery requires looking beyond just the "@corporation.com" email address.
