Exercise and test arrangements for intellectual property theft prevention under realistic conditions.
Preventing Theft of Intellectual Property and Trade Secrets
An applied course in intellectual property theft prevention built around the decisions practitioners actually face.
Course Overview
Security arrangements around intellectual property theft prevention are tested by adversaries, not by auditors. Guard force performance on theft prevention reflects supervision, not instruction. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on this area of corporate security practice and revise it on evidence. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a security procedure for intellectual property theft prevention as they go. The course sets out a working method for the corporate security practice discipline that participants can apply the week they return. The level assumes working familiarity with the protected site but no prior formal training in theft prevention. Across sectors, teams that rehearse intellectual property theft prevention outperform teams that only plan it. Plans for theft prevention often fail at the handover point between functions. The final session converts the week's work on the practice within corporate security practice into commitments with owners and dates.
