August 2, 2016

Implementing effective cybersecurity protection is therefore becoming one of the key priorities of companies whose business depends on trade secrets, not just as a practical security matter but also because under U.S. and international law the legal protections that courts will give to a company’s trade secrets directly depend on whether the company itself has taken “reasonable steps” to protect that information.
