What makes you tired is not a distant mountain, but a stone in your shoe.

It is not a strong opponent that makes the enterprise fear, but its own business secret becomes the card in the other hand. How does it leak?

At the end of the year, enterprises begin to enter the peak period of job hopping in a year.

A recent survey showed that 85% of the staff can easily download "competitive" information and information and take them to the next job.

Although most workers can download information from current companies, only 32% will "sell" information in order to increase their competitiveness in the next job.

More than 80% of people admit that downloading data files and so on from work to go home, the most common way is to use USB to pmit data.

It is very dangerous for enterprises to leave their employees.

For whatever reason, they want to get the necessary resources for their future work.

A departing employee said very frankly: "in fact, it is a custom for employees to remove some information from the original company through various means. Of course, these materials are only convenient for future work, rather than for direct sale."

Of course, some employees actively respond to employers' questions in order to win the love of new employers while applying for jobs, and many of them are deliberately set up by new employers in order to obtain information from competitors.

Of course, there are also some employees who intentionally disclose business secrets and think that they can make profits.

A few years ago, Coca-Cola had had an employee selling the company's information: the Pepsi Co based in New York provided Coca-Cola with a copy of the mail.

The mail was sent to Pepsi by Coca-Cola's official commercial envelope, and the sender "Dirk" called herself Coca-Cola top employee and provided "very detailed confidential information".

Coca-Cola immediately contacted the FBI and the latter launched a secret investigation immediately.

Since then, the self disclosed "Dirk" leaked person has provided several other Coca-Cola top secret documents which have been identified as commercial secrets, and has provided a confidential sample of Coca-Cola new products.

A few days later, a federal agent offered $1 million 500 thousand to Dirk for other business secrets.

It was later confirmed that the secret is a sample of new products Coca-Cola is developing.

Finally, 3 suspects were given due punishment. The Coca Cola Co also reviewed the relevant policies, procedures and systems of data protection to ensure that intellectual property rights are not infringed.

What kind of actions do employees take to disclose corporate secrets?

How can enterprises prevent and deal with employees' disclosure of business secrets?

What is "secret"? What is a business secret for an enterprise?

The scope of trade secrets is very wide. Any specific information related to social competition and economic interests may constitute business secrets.

For example: product formulation, process procedures, research and development materials, machinery and equipment improvement plan, drawings, customer information, financial data, business plan and so on.

At the same time, trade secrets refer to technical information and operational information that is not known to the public, can bring economic benefits to the obligee, and is practical and protected by the obligee.

In many enterprises, business secrets are being leaked every day.

However, for the loss of information, enterprises and employees may be totally ignorant.

For example, as a boss, he reveals business secrets unintentionally at work meetings, and should not forget that "the speaker is unintentional, the listener has a heart". Therefore, to avoid the "Curse of the mouth", we must first establish a sense of secrecy from the top level, and do it in a proper way to make your staff aware, examine and realize his behavior, whether it is a leak.

A boss said: he once had an employee who took away his own software when he left office.

Because his reason is: software is designed by itself, it should be its own ownership. If the company wants to use it, it will pay for it, otherwise it will be infringed. Some employees think that the customer is my developer, why do I have no right to take away their information?

As a result, employees are generally justified and enterprises are helpless.

However, there is a definition of "service invention" in law, and the owner of such invention is enterprise.

Job invention refers to the task of executing the unit (including temporary working units) or by making use of the material and technological conditions of the entity (i.e. the capital, equipment, parts, raw materials, or technical data not disclosed).

Then, the customer resources based on the position should be enterprise resources.

Therefore, enterprises must try their best to collect and store these resources, and do well in knowledge management. In the process of developing new products, they are actually the weakest moment to protect.

Therefore, in the enterprise, the relative blockade of news, so that the least people know the trend of new products.

However, why do employees disclose corporate secrets and sell intelligence?

It is undeniable that selling intelligence can sometimes become a means of making money, the capital of job hopping or the weight of asking price, or even the hidden arrow of revenge.

How can we look at the "secret library" of enterprises?

The company's "secret library", "no matter whether it is the association of" enterprise is a home "or Baidu's best employer in recent years, has been controversial because of lightning layoffs.

Although this can not be called a good way to protect business secrets, it does make it hard for people to accept this way too cold.

However, it is undeniable that Lenovo's method of sealing ID in its LAN before layoff is a way.

With the improvement of technology level, a small flash memory, a EMAIL, recording, candid camera and other means may make secret moments no longer secret. Even with the increase of insiders, it is very difficult to investigate and claim.

How can we prevent employees from divulging secrets?

First, a lot of divulging is through computers and copies, so the problem of technical divulging must be solved by means of technology.

For example, loading software that prevents copying.

We should not only set up the supervision of the special person, but also pass the technical supervision.

Second is to divide the bar and dilute the secret.

Enterprises may depend on the value of information to determine the level of confidentiality and the crowd involved.

Because the development of a project requires cooperation from many people, if there is no secret between departments, then the company will have no secrets.

Therefore, an important principle of confidentiality is to dilute core secrets, so that people in need only know what they can know.

That is to say, to divide certain items and plans into parts and links, and allow different people to know, but everyone knows only one part of himself, and no one knows all about it, that is, the principle of not putting eggs in the same basket.

Third, the use of top secret documents requires approval by a legal representative.

At the same time, we must establish strict authorization system and leak accountability system.

For enterprises, the key of secrecy is not mature technology, but the new technology and core technology being developed.

Because these technologies have not yet been protected by patents, and if they are leaked, they will become a means for your competitors to beat you and defeat you.

Information security is not a matter of a department, but a need for information security at the beginning of information formation.

According to the value of the secret, set the cost of protection, and determine the suitable scope of protection with the value of the protected trade secret.

At the same time, fewer people know, and when a secret leak is made, it is easier to define responsibilities and responsibilities.

Fourth, pay attention to detail management.

Identify key positions and key departments to implement key protection.

At the same time, we should perfect the confidentiality procedure from the internal process system construction.

Especially for the core departments such as R & D, finance and information systems, we should pay more attention to the quality of their staff. We should not only pay attention to management and motivation, but also make them feel trust and responsibility.

At the same time, enterprises should pay attention to employees' emotions and psychological feelings, so as to prevent malicious leaks.

Fifth, improve the system and protect the rights according to law.

To strengthen the education of confidentiality and foster a sense of secrecy is not only a matter for enterprises to do, but also a confidentiality system should be worked out according to the specific circumstances of enterprises.

For example, the signing of a competition agreement with core staff, the management of computer hard disk, the handover before departure, and the centralized management of customer information.

Competition prohibition agreement is important, but the construction of enterprise's confidentiality culture, staff motivation, trust for employees, and the enhancement of professional ethics of executives are more important.

The game between morality and interest is always present.

Deng Xiaoping once said, "there are no friends on the security front."

For an enterprise, how to make a leaving employee feel grateful instead of resentment, and even still be friends with the enterprise, does need a cultural realm.
