Over the last decade, Federal Institutes (FIs) have expanded the protection of Intellectual Property (IP). On the other hand, the number of cybercrimes in federal agencies has been growing, since in 2017, 28.147 information security incidents were reported. In this scenario, difficulties and limitations faced by the Technological Innovation Nucleus (TIN) and Information Technology Departments (ITD) of the FIs are highlighted. In view of the above, the present work aims to provide an overview of information security management within the scope of the TINs of the IFs in the Northeast of Brazil, through the analysis of institutional documents regarding the TINs and ITDs, using as a methodological instrument a documentary research. The research demonstrated that the regulations do not include sufficient mechanisms to protect IPs, in addition to showing a lack of convergence between the TIN and the ITD, providing a more vulnerable environment in the protection of institutional knowledge.
