A Holistic Approach to Mitigating Harm from Insider Threats
As the business world becomes increasingly digital and interconnected, all enterprises face a heightened risk of loss from potential threats. But contrary to popular belief, the most serious threats are not always external.
Insider threats can be particularly dangerous to an organization because the individuals involved have easy access to organizational resources that are not obtainable by the general public. Additionally, insider threats can be difficult to spot because they vary in techniques and motives. They can range from disgruntled workers and malicious state actors to well-meaning employees who make a simple but costly mistake.
