What steps might have been taken to detect David’s alleged industrial espionage?

Identifying David's alleged industrial espionage may require some steps from ABC

Company, but big problems can sometimes be easily solved. First, analyzing email terms would

help determine whether David mistakenly sent any private data to someone else (Ali & Taner,

2024). Furthermore, such analysis of his usage of cloud applications and data access could hit the

bull's eye if anyone holds key info shares on these applications. Another critical thing that will be

done is to parse the server logs, which would give a chance to see what David accessed and be

able to identify any use of remote servers at odd hours, which might indicate illegal activities.

An advanced monitoring system would have turned out to be the cornerstone of petty

accounts management and the successful maintenance of policies defining data security. It would

track, store, and log the account activities. Alerts are issued anytime unusual activity is detected,

including multiple failed attempts for authentication or copying of large files in bulk (Prunckun,

2024). It will make it possible to immediately detect wrong behaviors, which a strict response to

the acts of the wrongful employees can accompany. In addition, this will be improved by

tracking the user behavior and identifying any suspicious pattern that is part of the insider

attacks.

What steps might have been taken to prevent his perpetrating such an offense?

Imperviousness to industrial espionage involves figuring out what trade secrets and

intellectual property the company must have to secure the resources to succeed in the targeted

place. Acknowledging the potential risks from competitors, visitors, customers, partners, hackers,
3

activists, and foreign countries is equally important. Physical safety measures should be a

priority (Miller, 2024). Thus, it entails security installations such as cameras, guarded areas, and

security personnel to ensure safety. Develop concise guidelines on sharing and managing

information and specify what the firm's representatives can disclose to the public. Train

employees to identify and notify if they notice any irregular movement and learn the significance

of data security.

This statement means keeping access to the data even for smaller units, as this further

ensures the patent's fairness. Screening must be done thoroughly for all employees, including

those in less-attended roles, such as janitors, who may play a part in identifying possible risks

(Mészáros & Kelemen-Erdős, 2023). Initiate intensive employee offboarding processes, applying

non-disclosure agreements duly checked and enforced upon departure. To increase cybersecurity,

you should monitor networks for suspicious activity and use software created to protect sensitive

data. Finally, develop plans to tackle intellectual property theft incidents, e. g., crises, and

contingency management plans.
