How do you investigate an insider threat — while preserving potential evidence?
When intellectual property is a company's primary product, targeting by competitors, foreign nations and insiders is a constant concern.
FTI Consulting was retained by a high-profile research company to investigate a possible insider threat and preserve evidence in the event litigation occurred related to the suspected employee.
Our Impact
The insider threat concerns were alleviated; evidence was preserved in case of future legal action and the client’s intellectual property is better protected.

In crisis and transformation,real-world experience delivers.
Our Role
Investigators with Experience in Nation-State Espionage
FTI Consulting’s experts leveraged their knowledge of foreign nations to find evidence of unauthorized access and external transfers of data.
Our findings supported security and contractual violations by the employee, legally justifying the termination and setting the foundation for future legal action by the company.
We created a forensically sound copy of the evidence and the employee’s digital footprint, allowing data to be preserved should it be needed for future litigation.
FTI Consulting also enabled discussions with legal counsel, federal law enforcement and intelligence partners to assist with the investigation process.
