One time, allegedly, a biz person attempted to bring valuable IP to their employer's competitor, including by exfiltrating files.
I can't say the most interesting/illuminating part, since that would point to the company, but I can say:
(1) I believe that the alleged defector-thief was going to be legally made to deeply regret that mistake; and
(2) for the company's future operations, there was a rush to show diligent security that would prevent this from happening again (and you can guess how well-reasoned the actual measures were, but reality was even worse than your guess).
Everybody loses.
Incidentally, I suspect that the company learned of the IP theft from the competitor, rather than from their own IT dept. (I'm sure many biz people are willing to poach from a competitor while expecting to benefit from arguably proprietary information that comes along in the defector's head. But I suspect that even many of those, if the defector started to whip out documents or other artifacts, would suddenly become furious paragons of righteousness, and smack that person clear out the door, while establishing a paper trail that their company wasn't exposed to the information.)
