Securing Intellectual Property
Intellectual property (IP) such as engineering designs, research documents, source code, parts specifications, engineering bill of materials (eBOM), and CAD drawings are a company's most strategic assets. When corporate IP is leaked, companies often suffer competitive disadvantage and lose product leadership, and could face legal action and reputation damage when partner IP is wrongfully disclosed.
