What is knowledge security?

Knowledge security is taking interventions to protect your knowledge from, among other things:

  • unwanted transfer of sensitive knowledge and technology
  • covert influence of education and research by other states
  • ethical issues that may come into play when cooperating with countries that do not respect fundamental rights

There are many areas related to knowledge security. For example, you may have to deal with it when you enter into a collaboration, conduct research or hire someone.
