With few exceptions, companies today rely heavily on computers and a variety of software in their day-to-day operations. Everything from inventory, to sales records, to customer and employee information is managed and stored on computers. Even if protected from outside intrusion, this information is usually accessible by many employees. Without specific policies and procedures to protect this information from employee misuse, employers can suffer tremendous financial loss. In a recent Ninth Circuit case, a company lost a lawsuit against a former employee who had transferred a substantial amount of confidential company information to his home computer for use in his personal business. The court ruled in favor of the former employee primarily because the company had no policies restricting use of company information.
