Countering the Threat of DPRK Insider Threats

Recently CISA issued a report on DPRK attempting to infiltrate operatives into United States businesses as contractors. These contractors were specifically targeting remote positions and then multiple individuals within APT units would have access to corporate environments. Some highly sophisticated and some not sophisticated techniques were used to fool hiring managers and contracting companies into granting access to some times sensitive areas of corporations. 

We will discuss what DPRK and potentially other nation states might be doing to get into your network and what they want when they get there. How do spot them before they get hired and how do we detect them if they have made it past our defenses. A time with collaboration across multiple administrative departments in a corporation becomes crucial.
