Secure your Source Code & Confidential Files from Deliberate Theft or Accidental Leakage

The Big Question for Developers of Software

If you are the Founder, CEO or Shareholder of a Software Development Business, ask yourself this question.

"Do I care if our source code, designs and confidential data ended up on the Internet, or in the hands of competitors or copycats"

If the answer is YES, then read on to discover how to remove this worry from your mind.

The Consequences of Source Code Theft

As a stakeholder in a software development company, you already understand that the only value you create is your intellectual property - usually in the form of source code, design models, specifications and even email conversations.

You also know it takes years to create this value, and requires a complex collaboration between smart individuals and external vendors who are in high demand in the software industry. Most projects require accepting working practices that you have little control over, and talented professionals will not accept the same levels of discipline that a factory worker would.

For example, as every development manager knows, an exiting employee has probably already copied everything he can get his hands on, because he may need it for his next job.

And while you may not believe it could happen to you, you do understand that the loss of this intellectual property to your competitors or the public causes embarrassment at best or the closure of your business in a worst case scenario.

So whether you are providing offshore development to security conscious clients , or if you design products for yourself, the need to protect your source code is identical.
