ResumoAt one point in the movie Meet The Fockers, Robert de Niro's character, ex-CIA boss Jack Byrnes, tells his prospective son-in-law of his fears about extending the family: "If your family circle does indeed join my family circle they'll form a chain – I can't have a chink in my chain." Underneath the obvious humour lies a serious point. Every time an employee leaves one employer to join another, the old employer faces the risk that an employee's switch of allegiances may open up new vulnerabilities. Ninety-nine employees out of a hundred move from one organisation to the next with no intention of betraying the trust of the organisations they are leaving. Every so often, however, former members of staff may try to take confidential information with them to their new employers or deliberately tamper with data on the system out of spite. Fortunately there are a number of things organisations can do to protect their data from such risks, as Michael Fimin of Netwrix explains.
