…also seeing companies such as Citrix, AWS and Microsoft Azure offer cloud-based desktops.” The shift from on-premises desktop to virtual machines suggests the security risks, too, have migrated to the cloud. But human behavior, as it turns out, remains a bigger security risk than the holes in the company firewall and the cloud. A Famous IP Theft Case One of the most high-profile IP theft cases in the CAD industry occurred in 2002, when the source code of a pre- release version of SolidWorks was stolen. The culprit, Shekhar Verma, was a former employee of an outsourced contractor in India.…
