In this episode Joe Sullivan and Stacy Dunn discuss approaches for developing a risk appetite statement and how to implement security based on the stated risk appetite.

What's the strangest thing you've encountered with a new hire?

In this episode we talk about the time an evil twin with no experience managed to get an IT position and how scammers with no experience are landing multiple work from home tech jobs just to collect a paycheck until they get terminated.

The rabbit hole goes even deeper with fake sites being set up as past employers and answering services attempting to make them look legitimate.

We also talk about how to combat these attempts and weed out the scammers from the legitimate applicants.
