1. What steps might have been taken to detect David’s alleged industrial espionage? 2. What steps might have been taken to prevent his perpetrating such an offense?
David Doe is a network administrator for the ABC Company. David is
passed over for promotion three times. He is quite vocal in his
dissatisfaction with this situation. In fact, he begins to express negative
opinions about the organization in general. Eventually, David quits and
begins his own consulting business. Six months after David’s departure,
it is discovered that a good deal of the ABC Company’s research has
suddenly been duplicated by a competitor. Executives at ABC suspect
that David Doe has done some consulting work for this competitor and
may have passed on sensitive data. However, in the time since David
left, his computer has been formatted and reassigned to another person.
ABC has no evidence that David Doe did anything wrong. Consider the
following questions:
1. What steps might have been taken to detect David’s alleged
industrial espionage?
2. What steps might have been taken to prevent his perpetrating such
an offense?
