Hostile Manipulation as a Threat
Everyone thinks about “cybersecurity.” Is that just hackers tunneling into networks and stealing data? How do they get in the network? What about the nice guy you met at the bar? Humans are vulnerable to manipulation. What are threats?
Defending Against Manipulation
As executive protection professionals focus on their job, they can be targets of hostile manipulators. Just as every other person in your organization is a potential target.
Are you and your people aware of the threat? Are you aware of the methods manipulators use? Do you have personal vulnerabilities to manipulation? How would you report a suspicious incident? Is Project Veritas probing your defenses right now?
These and other questions are considered in this course. After you complete these activities, you’ll be better prepared to answer them, and to protect your treasures.

- Course Wrap-Up
I’m Kent Clizbe, Procypher’s Director of Corporate Counterintelligence.
I was an operations officer in the CIA, and later a contract ops officer. My specialty was manipulating people– recruiting human sources of foreign intelligence. Nowadays I apply my expertise in manipulation, and understanding of human nature, to counter hostile manipulation–or counterintelligence.
I worked as a headhunter in
the dot.com era, running my own business, the only headhunter specialized in computational linguistics. I was in the Air Force, where I was a Vietnamese linguist. I’ve worked in Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Africa, both for the government, and on my own. My counter-terrorism work, after 9/11, included running a hostage rescue operation in the Philippines.
My education includes a BA and MA, focused on linguistics, business, and instructional design. As a trainer, facilitator, and instructional designer, I’ve worked for nearly every member of the US intelligence community, and most of the special forces, as well as a wide variety of for-profit companies.
I designed this learning activity, and look forward to helping you further deal with the threat of hostile manipulation of your people.
