Chris Nickerson conducts “Red Team Assessments” for clients. He is paid to try and dupe a client, and the client’s employees, to give them a clear picture of the weak spots in their security plan. He then advises them on how to shore up defenses more effectively in the event a real criminal comes knocking. CSO got to experience Nickerson’s ease at dealing with people in an assessment when we looked around one of the buildings in our area. Nickerson pointed out areas of weakness for us that a criminal might look for when sizing up a potential for breach.”]
