Yes you Can! However it is more difficult than if you had one.
This would depend on the breach of confidentiality and how it negatively impacts the company.
IE if an employee uses information that they know or should have known is confidential and they take that information to intentionally cause harm or severe monetary impact or use it to seriously impede a competitive position and do it in a malicious nature being fully aware that the breach caused damage they can be held accountable. It does need to be intentional and malicious in nature.
If it is strictly knowledge that they have and use in their every day activities and they transfer that knowledge with them to another employer it would be difficult to pursue as a breach.

in some cases if they are expected to maintain confidence as in lawyer doctor shrink etc..
or in corporate much harder on trade secrets ect. you d have to prove the known or should have known and more and if the agree was verbal good luck unless there are witnesses. or others can say standard practice etc..
