So much to do, so little time. How do you create an effective global management strategy for securing thousands of highly mobile employees each with numerous electronic devices? How safe is your company’s Intellectual Property and your employees’ personal data? How do you prevent hackers from attacking your corporate infrastructure & stealing your intellectual property? Are your employees aware of inadvertently leaking information? How do you protect yourself and your global workforce? With trillions of dollars in software piracy losses and counterfeit crime globally, the need for securing a global workforce is more important than ever.

Each time you leave home, you lock your doors, check no-one is following you, buckle up and lock your car-doors (you should; it’s security 101 for women). At work, you enter a secured lobby and proceed to unlock your password-protected work station & start another long workday full of emails and sensitive transfer of data. Unknown to you, two floors down in your building, the accounting clerk is slowly & quietly building their embezzlement scheme, because they cannot afford to pay for their house re-modeling…. they live in a house worth over $1million. By the way, they were never prosecuted by their last employer for embezzling over $40,000 and the background check never looked at their credit history, so the hiring manager and HR department are blissfully unaware of the financial pressures at home.

Meanwhile, at your company’s warehouses & distribution centers, drug trafficking and selling social security numbers to illegal immigrants are serious issues that management is not apprised of yet. Somehow product is disappearing at an alarming rate; a serious crime occurring daily across America. If your company sells hi-tech consumer products, you can be certain that three months prior to the Holiday Season, theft will increase by more than 500%.

There are many criminals out there and most of them have day jobs. Yet the employees you hire have often not been screened at all, and most are not screened thoroughly. With 70% of temporary employees having criminal convictions and over 50% of all job applicants having serious background discrepancies, is it any wonder that security in the global workplace is such a critical issue? In many countries today bribery, corruption & money-laundering are still considered a normal and routine part of business. When you hire an overseas employee within the USA, they must show educational transcripts and proof of no criminal record to qualify for their H1B Visa status, but employees in most of the world do not need to meet these requirements.
