New Orleans CityBusiness -- The Business Newspaper of Metropolitan New Orleans: "In today’s technology-driven business world, disgruntled employees can damage companies in far more lasting ways than simply taking physical property. Today, a disgruntled employee who is also computer savvy can steal and share confidential information and trade secrets, disable a network or corrupt data.
In the past, when an employee was terminated, companies protected themselves by changing locks, monitoring the removal of personal items from desks and lockers and, when necessary, escorting the employee off the premises with a security guard.
“Company security today requires a greater level of oversight of employee technology use as a precaution against theft or misuse of proprietary information,” said Ed Harold, an attorney with labor law firm Fisher & Phillips LLP. “Protection of your electronic data when you discharge or lose employees in sensitive positions is a vital step in insulating the company against sabotage and for use in any future claims that may arise.”"
