Machine Building
Background:
An international manufacturer and leader in the machine building industry hired Integris to conduct an investigation after several security incidents had occurred at one of its Asian subsidiaries.
Activities:
Integris conducted a complex investigation into the security incidents which initially seemed unrelated. The investigation and thorough analysis of the events indicated that the company was the target of a sophisticated attempt to steal confidential and proprietary information from the client.
Further investigation not only revealed that the client company’s IT and communication infrastructure had been compromised; the investigation also revealed that at least two employees in key positions were in fact working as agents for a hostile third party.
Results:
Integris established a comprehensive program to protect vital corporate know how and intellectual property.
