The Rise of Economic Espionage

Breaking the NYNEX Fraud and Industrial Espionage Case

MacDonnell Ulsch, Jefferson Wells Inc.

Intellectual property and trade secret theft crimes are on the rise.  Already, the losses total more than $250 billion a year in the United States.  Military force modernization, commercial modernization, technology proliferation and complexity, expansive money laundering, and an increasingly competitive global marketplace are a few of the drivers behind the increase in industrial and economic espionage.  Learn who’s stealing the secrets and how to defend against theft of valuable competitive differentiators.

NYNEX was behind it.  Digital Equipment Corporation was the target, and IBM and other high technology competitors were unwitting participants in one of the largest industrial espionage and fraud cases ever to occur in the United States.  This significant but quiet case has never been publicly disclosed in court or in the press.  Find out from the individual who broke the case why it happened, how it happened, and the aftermath once the case was turned over to the United States Department of Justice.

MacDonnell Ulsch is a Director of Technology Risk Management in the Boston and New York City offices of Jefferson Wells.  He is the firm’s subject matter expert on privacy and intellectual property defense.  He was Sr. Director of Regulatory Compliance at Gartner and Director of Global Risk Management at PricewaterhouseCoopers.  He was Vice President of Information Security and Chief Analyst at Dataquest/Dun & Bradstreet.  For 13 years he was with the National Security Institute and continues to serve on its advisory board.  He served on the United States Secrecy Commission, chaired by U.S. Senators Jesse Helm and Daniel Patrick Moynihan.  He has also worked with U.S. Senator Sam Nunn on information security policy.  Mr. Ulsch has advised the British Ministry of Defense and worked in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Mr. Ulsch is the author of the forthcoming book, “THREAT! Managing Risk in a Hostile World,” to be published soon by the IIA Research Foundation.  He is a Distinguished Fellow of the Ponemon Institute and had advised the U.S. Army on the risks associated with blogging and social networks.  During the administration of President George H.W. Bush, he advised the office of counterintelligence on the issue on the Central Intelligence Agency intelligence sharing with U.S. corporations.

Mr. Ulsch has been a member of the adjunct faculty at Boston University and lectured in the international MBA program at Boston College.  He will present a lecture this year on global risk at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University in Boston.  His articles have appeared in many publications, and he has been quoted in The New York Times, The wall Street Journal, Forbes, Kiplinger’s, BusinessWeek, Information Security, and many other newspapers, magazines, and academic studies.  He has made guest appearances on a number of television and radio programs.
