North Korea's Secret IT Army and How to Combat It

Date: Thursday, December 19 at 11am PT / 2pm ET

Organizations around the world are unknowingly recruiting and hiring fake employees and contractors from North Korea. These sophisticated operatives aim to earn high salaries while potentially stealing money and confidential information - a chilling fact that KnowBe4 recently learned firsthand when we discovered and stopped one of these operatives at our own organization. Since sharing our experience, we've discovered that many others have faced similar situations, too.

Join us for this webinar where Roger A. Grimes, Data-Driven Defense Evangelist for KnowBe4, teaches you what we have learned and how you can stay one step ahead. He’ll cover:

  • Stories of fake North Korean employees and contractors hired by unsuspecting organizations
  • Red flags to watch out for to spot a fake employee job submission or resume
  • How to tell if you've got a fake North Korean employee or contractor already on the payroll
  • What updates and best practices you can start using today to keep bad actors out of your organization, and what to do if you suspect you may have already hired one

Don't miss this critical webinar that could be the difference between safeguarding your organization's assets and unknowingly inviting a potential security breach right in.
