Snowden, NSA, SR-71, Insider Threat & Access Governance: Strategic Hiring iQ1

Why IP Theft & Insider Threat Are HR Responsibilities ⬆ Images Hyperlinked
It is easy to narrowly define strategic hiring. Even when quoting me. So, here, I address blind spots.
But if your recruiters are not getting regular Insider Threat training, you can expect them to bring in
technically skilled thieves, driven by inbred nationalism and deception like Mainland Chinese-born
Zhang Xiaolang (tap above) who stole Apple's Self-Driving Car Trade Secrets or an Ed Snowden.
Yet at the core of the success of both the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit and the Lockheed SR-71
Blackbird Program or, innumerable NASA missions is a fundamental, non-negotiable leadership,
process management, project management as well as recruitment caveat. If serious about the
the success, survival, including competitive advantage & security, of your business, country
or mission then hire ONLY highly disciplined, highly competent, and well vetted strategic and
security-minded professionals. Virtual Assistants are risky as are rogue employees bent on
bypassing corporate security measures, which is why a strong constantly reviewed Cyber
Risk policy matters today. Relevantly, deeply enshrined in Intellectual Property Law say,
are nebulous disciplines such as Trade Secret Law, directly connected to Security for a
reason. I trust and in most cases support the work of the ACLU and EFF. But as I told
a security professional vis-à-vis Edward Snowden's legal/asylum problems, I am not
concerned. One cannot competently discuss, honor, or protect Trade Secret say;
and mission Critical Data Protection without appreciating the magnitude of what
security professionals call the the Insider Threat. Or CINDER, in cyber cases. It
is unfortunate that he didn't complete high school. But he obviously didn't care
about why there's such a thing as Security & Top Security Clearance; and
why we need CI (Counterintelligence), and importantly: why it is humble
in the current job economy, to pause, and reflect on the plight of much
better qualified security professionals when taking a job as he was
contracted by Booz Allen Hamilton to do. I was a consultant for
most of my IT years, and good judgment, ethics and a strong
aversion to any breach of trust without which businesses, like
national security apparatuses, may as well handover their
OPSEC & all sensitive data, directly to competitors and
adversaries, prevented me from being stupid enough
to take a job, with the express goal of “gathering
evidence on NSA surveillance”. Marketing or not,
ExpressVPN's hyperlinked infographic above is
fantastically naive. Except for the occasional
Yuliya & Vitaly Stepanova (whom I support)
China, Russia, Iran North Korea and ISIS
together America's most aggressive ad-
versaries avoid sensitive data leak for
good reasons. National Unity aside,
destabilizing elements + exploiting
NSA misconduct distractions and
partisan rift while Putin's Rus-
sia, the PRC and others hack
U.S. businesses, elections &
interests using Snowden as
excuse when caught is a
fact missed only by the
ignorant, myopic and
naïve American lac-
king perspective.
