In a time of budget sensitivity, many businesses, government agencies and other types of organizations are turning to independent contractors as a more flexible and less expensive alternative to hiring regular, full-time employees. However, the cost savings of using third-party contractors can also come with certain risks, most notably in terms of security.

Awareness of the potential risks associated with contractors and proactive steps to address those risks should be part of every security program.
