On this episode of Managing Your Perimeter™, we’re joined by Dr. Jazma Parker, Security Director and Facility Security Officer at Digiflight Incorporated, for a conversation on insider threats, security clearances, and what it really takes to protect organizations from the inside out.

Drawing from her experience in federal investigations, intelligence support, and corporate security, Dr. Parker breaks down how insider threats actually develop, why security clearances are rooted in trust—not perfection—and what leaders often misunderstand about risk. We also discuss social media hygiene, the unintended consequences of oversharing, and why the future of personnel security still requires the human factor, even in the age of AI.
