A rogue nation sought to develop a next-generation trading platform for brokers and dealers. The rogue nation conspired to steal the technology (design and code) developed by the US financial services company. A contractor (development manager) who had spent 15 years with that US Company used privileged position to help the rogue nation. The financial impact of this incident is estimated to be in the billions of dollars, and that does not factor in the consequent loss of competitive advantage for the firm.

- Root cause of problem

- How do you prioritize what to do first
