[Panel 3] Governance and Management of Information Security and Trade Secrets

[mission statement for corresponding Drafting Team 5: An essential legal requirement of enforceable trade secrets is that they are the subject of “reasonable efforts” by the holder to keep them secret. And as a practical matter, businesses want to avoid loss or contamination of their valuable information assets. Increasingly, this objective is reinforced not only by owners of the business but also by government agencies who are promoting de facto standards for information security.
