Cybersecurity & Public Policy
Answer each question in an essay format. Each essay should be between 275-300 not including footnotes.

Question 1:
Which employee action do you think poses a bigger risk to companies: accidental exposure of information or malicious exposure information? Why? What are the root causes and what are some things the company should do to protect against either of those things occurring?

Question2:
The federal government has expressed a view that pre-employment screening (or vetting) of an individual is a critical component to ensuring a trusted workforce environment and reducing the risk of insider threat issues. Do you agree that pre-employment screening can alleviate insider threat concerns? Why? Why not?
What role can human resources professionals play in the insider threat program? Consider, for example, the opportunities and challenges that human resources professionals may encounter due to the use of emerging technologies in the hiring process, such as the use of artificial intelligence to identify and screen candidates (https://www.vox.com/recode/2019/12/12/20993665/artificial-intelligence-ai-job-screen (Links to an external site.)) or data scraping capabilities like those developed by Clearview AI that allow a company to gather significant information about its current and potential employees (https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/2/11/21131991/clearview-ai-facial-recognition-database-law-enforcement (Links to an external site.)).
