Protection methods of trade secrets

1, classified computers are not connected to the Internet. Now the hacker technology has achieved the purpose of detecting the information on the hard disk of networked computers through the network. Therefore, it will be very dangerous for classified computers to surf the Internet. Therefore, enterprises should store computers with core competitiveness and business secrets with important economic value separately, instead of connecting to the Internet. For general trade secrets, relevant personnel should pay attention to that if they want to surf the Internet, they should copy all the trade secret files with a U disk in advance and delete all the trade secret information in the computer before surfing the Internet. In this way, confidential information is not online, and online information is not confidential, preventing hackers from stealing business secrets through espionage. 2. Restrict online chatting and prohibit the installation of cameras. Many employees like QQ, MSN and other online chats during working hours. Because the above-mentioned online chat has the function of sending files instantly, it is easy to reveal business secrets through online chat. Therefore, in order to reduce the risk of revealing trade secrets, enterprises should prohibit ordinary employees from chatting online. Of course, some enterprises need to contact business through MSN, and enterprises can allow specific employees to use MSN, which can effectively protect trade secrets and not affect the business development of enterprises. Enterprises should prohibit the installation of cameras, because cameras can not only expose all business activities within the enterprise to competitors, but also reveal secrets by directly aiming at documents containing trade secrets. 3. Without authorization, it is forbidden to download and install programs unrelated to work. Because some programs carry spyware, if you download programs that are not related to your work without authorization, you may inadvertently install spyware. Therefore, in order to protect business secrets, employees are not allowed to download programs unrelated to work. 4. There are many ways to monitor the spread of enterprise information through network monitoring, such as QQ and MSN mentioned above, and the most common way is email. Now the important way for enterprises to leak secrets is through e-mail. Therefore, enterprises can prevent trade secrets from leaking to the maximum extent by monitoring the emails of internal employees. However, e-mail involves legal issues of personal privacy and freedom of communication. Improper handling of e-mail by enterprises will not only lead to antagonistic feelings of employees, but may also be regarded as infringement. Therefore, enterprises must adopt correct methods to implement network monitoring: firstly, we must clearly inform employees of the situation of network monitoring, so that employees can recognize and understand the company's network monitoring, and at the same time, we can prove that the enterprise is subjectively not at fault. Secondly, provide employees with work mailboxes and ask employees to send and receive emails through work mailboxes. Enterprises have the right to check at any time, requiring employees not to use their work mailboxes to send and receive personal mail. If you need to send or receive personal mail, please send it through your personal mailbox. Because the work mailbox is set up by the enterprise for work purposes and uses the resources of the enterprise, legally speaking, the enterprise should have the right to make the above requirements. Therefore, through network monitoring, enterprises can understand the information dissemination within the enterprise, and at the same time, it also has the function of restraining employees from keeping business secrets in advance. 5. Take encryption measures. When employees use the network to transmit files involving trade secrets, they should use encrypted computer programs to obtain decryption keys. The recipient of the information has the key, decrypt it and get the information. This measure can effectively keep secrets for theft and eavesdropping on the way of transmitting documents and information, and for employees to press the wrong transmission button due to negligence.
