What is an appropriate Ethical Theory for IT Professionals

How might one manage the ethical practices and its accountabilities when IT projects are outsourced to multiple parties?

How would you handle this Ethical dilema (see a case below)?

You have just joined a new company who values your knowledge and past experiences. In fact they hired you largely because you were involved in some ground breaking IT projects in the past, and have very good knowledge of their key competitors' strategies.

How would you distinguish what you could share and what you should not share from your previous roles without breaking the confidentiality of your previous organisations' project 'secrets'?
