Precision Discovery, Inc. Announces ERA, a Tool to Protect Valuable Intellectual Property

NEW YORK, Aug. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Precision Discovery, Inc. announces the launch of a new service, Employee Risk Assessment (ERA), designed to uncover and prevent employee theft of critical intellectual property. "Your company's most valuable assets are your people and the intellectual property they create," said Pete James, Managing Director of Computer Forensics at Precision Discovery, Inc. and author of Uncovering Internal Intellectual Property Theft. "Unfortunately, those same people present the greatest risk for intellectual property theft. When they leave – are your secrets and competitive information assets going with them?"

Today, employee theft of proprietary information and data is a serious and widespread problem.  Studies reported by Symantec and Computer Weekly found that over 60% of departing employees admit taking company data when leaving their jobs, while Network World indicates that 66% of those reporting theft say they did so to secure their new position. The cost of this exposure is significant. The Software Engineering Institute reports that in 70% of theft cases the damage equates to more than $100K; in 50% of cases it rises to over $1M.

Precision Discovery Employee Risk Assessment provides forensic analysis of computers, networks, and other digital devices to detect when files or other sensitive proprietary information are accessed, downloaded, deleted, copied, or sent inappropriately. Available in three service configuration alternatives, ERA helps companies identify, prevent, or prosecute employee theft of valuable intellectual property and competitive assets.
