Eric O'Neill helped catch Robert Hanssen, the FBI agent who passed every check while spying for decades, an operation later dramatized in the film Breach. In this episode of Know Your People he tells Maureen Lally how bad-faith actors get hired under stolen, clean identities, which independent checks can catch them, and why knowing your people means verifying more than once.

Know Your People™ is a podcast about identity, trust, and fraud in the modern workforce.

For trust and safety leaders. For anyone responsible for keeping an organization safe while onboarding at speed and scale, and managing risk. When a verified identity and a worker you can trust are not always the same thing.

Conversations are hosted by the team at First Advantage. They mix the insights of trust and safety leaders from organizations you will know, with those of people who have spent their careers working at the frontier of these issues (not least, chasing fraud for the FBI).

We will discuss what good looks like at scale. Where fraud, and the fight against it, is heading. The trade-offs nobody enjoys: between speed and safety, growth and friction. This isn't about easy answers; it's about the honest ones.

Presented by First Advantage.
