Case Study: a Fortune 500 company protects intellectual property during employee departure with Strider Technologies

Safeguarding Intellectual Property Amidst Employee Departure

The client, a Fortune 500 organization producing goods with patented processes, faced the challenge of safeguarding its intellectual property when an employee with access to sensitive technology resigned under suspicious circumstances. Using Strider Technologies' Shield and Insights products, their security team needed to proactively assess and mitigate the risk of a potential state-sponsored IP breach.

Strider's solution provided the critical intelligence needed to manage the threat. The security team used Insights to identify pre-existing risk signals on the employee and Shield to surface direct communications with a flagged entity. This enabled the client to conduct a targeted interview, remind the employee of their NDA, and prepare for legal action, ultimately allowing them to proactively secure their innovation and be prepared to respond if their IP was misused.
