Aleksa's Book Review: Cybervetting

The competitive intelligence space is a many-fanged beast, and one of its teeth is the vetting of potential incoming human resources. When you're hiring, you want to be sure that the new people coming in are actually who they say. The idea behind the book is solid, but execution is a bit more basic than I'd like.

Fundamentally it has to do with finding stuff on the open internet. There exists the second layer of personal messages, email, and similar deeper-level data that isn't immediately available. Stories abound of soldiers compromising their units through videogame play, IT sectors selling information years before being caught, and other worrying stuff.

It definitely makes you think about how you're not nearly as safe as you think you are, but then again - neither are your enemies or competitors. In up-and-coming spaces highly reliant on personal contacts, using competitive intelligence may be the edge that moves one to the next level.
