Chapter 6

I loved the term ‘candy security’, hard shell exterior with a mushy interior (not much unlike myself). I try to look tough, but enjoy romantic comedies just like the rest of the world’s softies. This ‘candy security’ concept brings us back to the concept that your company’s’ Achilles heel is your internal staff. I hope I haven’t mentioned before now, but I had a boss once that used to say that ‘your best employee is your worst employee.’ The best employees are the ones that are given more responsibility and are trusted more with valuable information. They are also the ones bright enough to use that information against you. They did not get to be your favorite employees without being bright and competent. There are many people out there that are capable of this scam. Systems that are designed to protect your company are developed by none other than people. These people know exactly how to manipulate the system, they created it.
