Action description

A recent incident at KnowBe4 involved a North Korean agent attempting to get hired as an IT expert. The suspected goal was to obtain foreign currency for North Korea and gain access to sensitive data. Fortunately, we uncovered the hacker just in time during the onboarding process, preventing any access to our systems. This tactic is well-known and widespread, as we learned from our collaboration with the FBI and our colleagues at Mandiant.

Cybersecurity thrives on the exchange of knowledge. Join this talk to gain insights into the strategies and tools used by these covert agents to slip through the cracks. You will learn how we identified the issue and took swift action to prevent any damage. Additionally, we will provide guidance on how to spot employees with dubious intentions during the hiring process and within the workplace. Practical advice will also be offered on strengthening your organization by implementing robust screening processes and security protocols to safeguard against infiltration.
