    What.... the NDAA didn't stop them.....?

    You're going to need far more controls in place to protect IP.

    Honestly, did they really think a procedural control like the NDAA mentioned would cut it?

    Seriously, it's not hard, go back to the drawing board and work out how to protect your critical or valuable environments and add the necessary controls, all of them, not just a flimsy document saying please don't do anything bad or we'll be cross with you and tell on you to a court!

    It's no good relying on that contract vehicle once the damage is done, it's really not going to reverse the impact, it may get you some money, but is that what you'd really want in the big scheme of things?

      Cut & paste is all those Indian outsourcers know how to do.

    The lawsuit alleges that Infosys built a software by reverse engineering test cases and frontend screens. That's more up the alley of vintage Chinese companies. Last I heard, no Indian IT company is capable of this level of sophistication. Either the lawsuit will be found false and dismissed or it will signify that the Indian IT industry has scaled new heights. Both are good for the Indian IT industry.
