Internal threats are often a larger problem than most organizations are willing to admit and accept. Psychological profiling is an effective technique used to reduce the risk of hiring or assigning the wrong people to sensitive technical positions. Profiling tests weigh the ethics and propensities for certain behavior of people in given situations. Consider, for example:
- "If you find a quarter on the street, what would you do?" Keep it.
- "What if it's a $10 bill?" Keep it.
- "What if it's a bag with $250,000?" Uh...
sNET professionals can provide your organization with practical psychological profiling in order to give you insight into the likely behavior of personnel who have the "keys to your kingdom." We can help your organization identify and effectively manage people who may be largely unsupervised, who may be young and ethically undeveloped, or who may be faced with internal and external temptations. sNET can help your organization answer questions like:
- Is money the motivating factor?
- What would turn them into disgruntled employees, thus increasing the risk of damage?
- What influences on your critical and trusted systems administrators could turn them against your company?
- What do they consider to be minor infractions, but could have larger, damaging implications for the company?
sNET employs a team of doctoral professionals, well-versed in criminal psychology and the implementation of preventive counter-measures to help mitigate the risks associated with network security. Practical application of reinforcement schedules and contingencies, classical and instrumental learning, and reciprocal inhibition can be used to help mitigate or extinct unwanted behavioral patterns within your organization.
