In a new report an employee security awareness consultancy identifies employees as the first wave of defence against Intellectual Property theft and counterfeiting. As the global cost of counterfeiting operations is predicted to rise to $1.7 trillion by 2015, The Security Company outlines guidelines to help staff defend against IP crime on its website: http://www.thesecurityco.com.
“Everyone can play their part in the prevention of this criminal activity by actively protecting the Intellectual Property in their care,” declares Keely Portway of The Security Company. “Secure behaviour can become second nature with the adoption of an integrated, sustained awareness programme for employees.” For further information – visit http://www.thesecurityco.com
