私たちTangiblyは、世界中のあらゆる企業や産業分野に企業秘密があると常々言っています。しかし、クルーズ船に企業秘密があるはずがないでしょう?

最近フィンランドで起きたように、彼らはそうしている。ある労働者がクルーズ船を製造する造船所で仕事を辞め、その際に何千ものファイルを持ち出した。

元従業員はその後、自分が所有するコンサルティング会社を通じて、中国の造船所に企業秘密を共有した。

フィンランドの造船所はフェイスブックを通じて盗難の事実を知った!このため造船所は、企業秘密の窃盗と(ファイルの無断コピーによる)著作権侵害で元従業員とコンサルティング会社を訴えることになった。

裁判所は窃盗に対する損害賠償として500万ユーロを、さらに利息として9万5000ユーロを認めた。興味深いことに、元従業員は訴訟手続き中に死亡した。

この事例は、従業員が雇用主から離れることに伴うリスクと、企業秘密が盗まれる兆候を監視することの重要性を示している。ほとんどの企業はハッカーについて懸念しているが、統計的には自社の従業員が最大のリスクである。
