Asset Protection

Products, content or intellectual property are what make each business unique and drive the overall value for the organization. Protecting these assets from theft, typically at the hands of those working inside the organization, is critical to an organization’s continued growth and profitability in today’s tough economy. The black market is one of the leading drivers for employee theft of valued company assets such as DVDs and Blu-Ray discs, music CDs, computer software, designer accessories, small electronic devices, and component chips.

Whether a retail distribution center, manufacturing facility, content replication facility or data warehouse, Brijot has solutions available to help deter potential employee theft or to catch those attempting to leave a facility with proprietary company assets concealed under clothing.

The Shulman Center for Compulsive Theft and Spending reports that the FBI calls employee theft “the fastest growing crime in America”.
