In this episode of Razorwire Raw, Jim explains why everything you thought you knew about perimeter security no longer applies. Your critical business systems aren't where you think they are anymore. And those third party questionnaires you're relying on? There's a problem.

Recruiters now see job candidates turn up on camera using deepfakes to hide their identity, including state linked operators who want access to source code and infrastructure.
