Note from the Editor:
This month OnlineSecurity is pleased to provide to you an in depth look at the practice
of security and corporate espionage. All four authors provide a unique and critical
perspective on the real world threats faced by corporations in the networked world.
As always, we strive to highlight issues that arise at the confluence of law, business,
and technology. In future months, we will be highlighting issues in employment law,
electronic discovery, and intellectual property. Please feel free to send your comments
or articles submissions to the editor here.
