The Need to Be “Information Lean” After COVID-19 Many things will never be the same after the COVID-19 affliction. More and more employees will spend less and less time at an office. As more employees work remotely, they will use more technologies to connect and collaborate, and they will store more company information in the Cloud and on various home devices with a range of setups and vulnerabilities. Bad actors, cyber thieves, and hackers will undoubtedly have greater luck exploiting the resulting chinks in the information security armor. Indeed, hackers and cyber warriors began attacking the soft underbelly of corporate security—the devices employees use (sometimes their own and sometimes provided by the company) and the networks on which they connect—right after COVID-19 hit. Businesses must have a concrete plan to deal with these new realities and become more “information lean.” This new environment is also accelerating digitalization, which is building better business processes through the strategic use of technologies. That is important because it provides companies the opportunity to reevaluate what they are doing and why. Shifting through old processes allows not only new efficiencies to emerge but also the chance to build compliance needs processes from the beginning, which can make them transparent and seamless. In other words, addressing issues such as privacy and security in the planning and design phases of a project means it will not need to be retrofitted downstream.

Kahn Consulting White Paper Sponsored by Open Text Introduction In 2020 there will be more information created every few hours than was previously created in a year’s time.1 Organizations increasingly rely on third parties to run internal processes as though they were part of the company, moving the company’s information onto third-party computers. Many organizations are considering or have already committed to storing some of their information in the cloud because of scalability and economics. Company employees manage their workday from a communications app, create business artifacts in a collaboration tool, and market products in a social media environment as part of normal business processes. New laws and regulations regularly affect how organizations should and shouldn’t manage information, and courts and regulators are increasingly penalizing litigants for not properly managing information. If the way your company manages information keeps you up at night, you are not alone. Most organizations are grappling with more data types, more systems, and more data and how to properly manage those issues. This white paper will help you navigate a productive path forward to get closer to information governance nirvana and avoid some major pitfalls that have impacted other companies.

Cree CEO Gregg Lowe said Tuesday that “all technology companies face the same thing” when it comes to the need to protect trade secrets. “Every day, they are making changes to help protect and secure their technology, and I think we’re no different than anybody else,” he said at Triangle Business Journal's Power Breakfast at PNC Arena. “I think all companies face these challenges. You’ve got the technology, you’ve got the capability, and people want to come after it.” For Lowe, it’s not just a fight with firms allegedly infringing on patents – a battle his predecessor, too, waged in federal court against companies such as Kingbright and Feit. It’s also waged from within. A former Cree employee, Coy Bell, is alleged to have stolen trade secrets worth millions by downloading classified files onto an SD card, according to a report.
