Industrial Espionage
When it comes to your business, information is power, and the key to your profitability. Your company likely has sensitive information that, if stolen, could cause you to lose income, profitability, employees, and market share. You may have competitors who would stoop to thievery in order to get the trade secrets your business is built on. This theft is called “industrial espionage,” and it is illegal and actionable.

What Is Industrial Espionage?
For many companies, sensitive business information is the difference between profitability and failure. The theft of important information by a rival company can have huge repercussions on your ability to make money, pay your employees, and succeed in your business.
Industrial espionage covers a wide range of cases, including those involving the theft of:
- Client lists
- Contracts
- Supplier arrangements
- Personal or business records
- Financial documents
- Research
- Prototype plans
- Intra-company documents (emails, memoranda, etc)
In short, a rival’s theft of your information is considered industrial espionage, and is illegal.
