3. Protect the Infrastructure

Segregating the intellectual property from the corporate network is very important. This subsides into an environment in which only a certain group of employees are allowed to access to these intellectual properties. Further, ample documentation regarding the access rights need to be maintained apart from the regular screening for employees who are authorized to access these areas. It needs to be decided beforehand and strict rules need to be implemented regarding such access even for employees belonging to the maintenance staff as it is difficult to identify the person who breaches critical information.

4. Keep Regular Check on Unexpected Behavior

Any behavior that might look suspicious to an organization need to be monitored and taken care of immediately. Failing to do so will only lead to wide scale damages. For example, the recent cyber espionage including ACAD/Medre.A, the malware was sending copies of blueprints through a SMTP to an email address to China, this was weird as in any organization the mail-sending capability is available only to the corporate Mail Transfer Agent, but as this went undetected for a certain period of time, it left devastating affects where the company lost some of its most critical blueprints. Certain cases need to be addressed quickly and carefully.

With the help of these strategies, one can address cyber espionages. But what is even more important is keeping oneself updated about the latest types of threats and ensuring you are rightly protected from them.
