First thing is to tighten your security and access to knowledge as relevant to the job being done. Secondly, your appointment letter should include a non-disclosure agreement. Proving disclosure of company secrets to outsiders is not easy.

You need to speak to a lawyer who specializes in this field.
The legal action you can take depends on a number of factors, including the actual act by your employee, whether there were non-disclosure clauses (not necessary, but helps), and whether there is a criminal breach of trust.
