Do you know if your company is following "best practices" for physical and cyber-security? The risk to companies and individuals of both physical and cyber-intrusions has greatly increased since 9/11. The methods your company uses to control access to its physical locations and networks will play a large role in determining whether or not your proprietary and confidential information can be protected as trade secrets.

Powell Goldstein helps our clients discover vulnerabilities that were created when intranets, extranets and wireless access capabilities were added to their networks to increase efficiency and productivity.

Our experience with trade secret protection did not just start with the current security concerns. Powell Goldstein attorneys helped draft the Georgia Trade Secret Act and have successfully handled trade secret misappropriation litigation throughout the U.S. and internationally. Our attorneys are active in security-focused government, industry and trade groups; have assisted our clients on a broad range of issues that protect their companies' trade secrets; and have written and been featured as speakers on a number of security-related issues.

• Helped clients manage security vulnerability assessments and implemented protocols for responding to attacks on their physical facilities and cyber-networks
