Insider Threats and Elicitation Methods

The course is a modern shield forged and built to expose deception and validate identity with brutal clarity. It strips away assumptions, presses for truth, and treats every interview like a counterintelligence operation. Interviewers learn to test claims under pressure, probe for inconsistencies, and force impostors off-script. Video calls aren't just chats—they're forensic tests. From liveness checks to workspace scans, no angle is left unexamined. Candidates must code live, think out loud, and adapt on the fly. Their stories are stress-tested, their voices analyzed, their timelines cross-checked. Each step is layered—psychological pressure, linguistic traps, full-screen audits, cultural nuance. Deep-fakes flicker, voice-clones stumble, coached answers collapse. Even résumés are weaponized—expanded, dissected, and used as bait. This isn't just hiring—it's human vetting at espionage depth, designed to catch what others miss.
