Description

People are often the weakest link in cybersecurity, and managing personnel risk is a critical responsibility. In this episode, we discuss best practices for pre-employment screening, including background checks and reference validation. We also explore how organizations use security policies to govern employee behavior and set expectations for acceptable use, confidentiality, and compliance. Finally, we walk through secure termination processes that include revoking access, conducting exit interviews, and managing offboarding. Understanding the human side of cybersecurity is essential for risk reduction, especially in enterprise environments.
