This week’s Kettle discusses the issue of insider threats and highlights recent cases involving rogue employees attempting to sell stolen documents and secrets. It also brings attention to the use of security snoops by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement to monitor social media content. The Kettle is hosted by Iain Thomson and produced by Nicole Hemsoth.
The main topic discussed in the meeting notes is the insider threat issue, specifically cases involving theft of information by insiders using their corporate-issued credentials. The meeting highlighted recent incidents such as a rogue systems engineer in the NSA attempting to sell documents to a Russian agent, an ex-staffer at ASML accused of taking secrets to Huawei, and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement hiring security snoops to monitor social media for anti-American sentiments.
