How big was the insider threat to intellectual property seven or eight years ago when you were with the FBI and were involved in the case that produced the first indictment under the Economic Espionage Act? Before we encountered this new world that we live in today--that's highly globalized and highly technical with Internet connectivity, digitalization of all information assets, diversified business models and new technologies that are constantly inundating the business environment--we began to see that the traditional methods of protecting information had changed.

In the old sense, you had critical assets you locked in a vault, and you initiated policies that were to be followed regarding the handling of those assets. But now the environment has dramatically changed and it's difficult to know where the borders of a document reside. The insider threat has always been around, but it's being appreciated in a different way today because of the enormous damage that an individual can deliver to an organization just by being able to access, download and walk out the door with a lot of assets. In the old days, you had to haul a file cabinet out of the organization, but today you can do it with an iPod.
