I've got a secret (and then again maybe not)

In this information age, employers need to guard their secrets and proprietary information. Many employers think having an "off the shelf" internet and computer use policy is all they need. Far too often employers fail to consider the more serious problem of data theft, unfair competition and the machinations of disloyal employees. Non-compete and confidentiality agreements are one further step in the right direction, and clear policies about non-distribution of stored electronic data. And don't forget the requirements of e-discovery. Most employers are ill prepared for the emerging worst case scenarios. A complete audit of data security issues and systems is in order for most employers not wanting all of their information in the public domain.
