When Trade Secrets Walk Out the Door: Lessons from a Semiconductor Insider Breach

In the semiconductor industry, the smallest design detail can mean the difference between leading the market and falling years behind. Recently, a high-profile breach shook the sector when sensitive process data for an advanced chip node was stolen from within the company. According to The Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times, those involved captured over a thousand images that hold confidential manufacturing processes and shared them with outside parties. The case has been...

So, What Is Generative AI? Generative AI (GenAI) is a branch of artificial intelligence that can create new content like text, images, audio, or even video, by learning from existing data. Unlike traditional AI, which only analyzes or predicts outcomes, GenAI can generate original content that feels human-made. From writing marketing copy and designing graphics to accelerating research and development, GenAI is showing up everywhere. Tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and DALL·E are just the...

When an enterprise Digital Rights Management (DRM) provider announces an end-of-support (EOS) or discontinues its service, organizations face a critical decision point: how to maintain data security without disrupting daily operations or exposing sensitive data. For many businesses, advanced data security solutions, such as DRM, play a vital role in securing intellectual property, controlling document access, and ensuring compliance. But when your DRM solution is no longer supported, patching together temporary fixes or delaying...

Security used to have borders, but the way we work has changed, and so have the risks. Files move beyond internal networks to endpoints, cloud platforms, and teams across the globe. This mobility boosts productivity but also increases risk exposure. Legacy Digital Rights Management (DRM) tools are tied to specific systems and fail to coordinate across platforms. The lack of integration between multiple Enterprise DRM (EDRM) solutions and incompatibility may raise concerns about security...

Sharing files externally remains essential for collaboration, but it’s also one of the biggest blind spots in enterprise security. Whether it’s with a vendor, customer, or third-party contractor, once a file leaves your controlled environment, the ability to maintain visibility and control typically goes with it. External sharing introduces risks like data sprawl, unauthorized access, and accidental exposure, especially when files are shared through unmanaged channels or without proper safeguards. These risks are compounded...

When organizations extend their reach to include third-party vendors, partners, and other external entities, collaboration becomes a cornerstone of success. However, this essential exchange of information often involves unstructured data—everything from critical documents and detailed spreadsheets to impactful presentations. Without robust security measures, sharing this sensitive information can quickly become a significant liability, paving the way for data breaches, reputational damage, and steep regulatory penalties. Here are the top reasons why securing unstructured data...

Data doesn’t wait for approval. It’s copied, downloaded, pasted into emails, shared on Slack, and uploaded to AI tools and unknown cloud apps – all in seconds. And by the time security teams notice, it may already be out of reach. This new reality calls for a different kind of defense, one that focuses not just on systems or users, but on the data itself. That’s the goal of Data Detection and Response (DDR)....
