Competition among companies and the business opportunities,
ventures, technologies and constant expansion into new
international markets mean that companies must protect that which
allows them to stand out and differentiate themselves from their
competitors, meaning their information, their
"singularities".
This information and singularities can be of various kinds, for
example: financial statements, data,
processes, know-how, a specific material, recipes, a
product, a strategy, a skill, some knowledge, a supplier, or a
formula. In general, any business information that is confidential,
sensitive, private and that they wish to keep secret because of the
importance it represents for the viability of the business.
