Plan to Protect Cybersecurity for Employees Before Day One
Hiring new employees is a critical function of doing business, and the onboarding process transcends industry, company size, and physical location. Organizations often need new talent to capture opportunity, optimize productivity, expand into new sectors, build products, and strengthen existing services. However, personnel transitions are equal opportunities for threat actors, and in some cases criminals, to exploit the hiring and onboarding process for the purposes of gaining unauthorized access to a valuable target. With new employees come new risks; from aspiring insider threats that intend to join a target to extract sensitive information, to insecure processes being exploited due to too much trust being placed in candidates and new hires.
It's Never Too Early: Safeguarding the Interview Process
For today's organizations, the reality is that the interview process has become a well-oiled machine. Companies set up profiles and job advertisements on job-search sites to elicit jobseekers to apply. Hiring managers field an influx of resumes and CVs and must decide who they will hire.
During this process, potential candidates are often required to speak to executives, managers, and team members associated with the position of interest. Who has not been to a job interview where a current employee overshares plans, capabilities, frustrations, or financial outlook? For a criminal threat actor who is an adept social engineer, a job interview is a golden opportunity to extract sensitive information about the target, its employees, and other valuable information. This can be particularly useful information for cyber criminals who may leverage the details in phishing or vishing campaigns to get one step closer to the organization's crown jewels.
