Topic: .”Shut the Front Door”- Reducing Risk Hiring Practices

This presentation is a novel way to look at the “open windows” that job listings provide to cyber criminals to profile a business from an attack perspective. From open windows to creaky back doors, a conversation needs to be had about the do’s and dont’s of what our teams include as we search for new talent to join our teams.   I have spent enough time using companies job postings to do my own version of OSINT, to create a cyber blueprint that reveals where there might be gaps or vulnerabilities in a company’s tech stack, where there are resource gaps, & how your program might be immature and primed for someone to slip past your defenses and take up residency in your systems.   In my presentation we will look at job postings across US businesses, examine the doors, windows, and disabled security systems (do they have a dog? is it a Chihuahua or a Doberman) that the data suggests, and use it to profile the company and the level of risk that the posting reveals. We will also open the conversation to “how we do better” without loosing the technical hiring requirements.

Speaker: Jessica Weiland, Client Manager, East, IOActive, Inc.

Jessica is an experienced Cyber Security Account executive who has spent extensive time listening to and understanding the modern day issues our security teams face when attempting to secure the business. She is an advocate for reducing burnout in the technology space by uniting her peers both on and off the hiking trail, by organizing events to help bring peers together in spaces that allow a break from the keyboards that consume their days. Over the last 5 years, she has worked to build out blueprints of organizations using only the data she virtually can gain access to via their website, employee social media presence, and recruitment processes.
