Mitigating insider threats to safeguard your organization
As work has stretched and evolved far beyond the physical confines of our offices, the need for always-on security governance has grown with it. Now, more than ever, protection of sensitive information and critical infrastructure is paramount for public sector agencies, government contractors, and other organizations. Among today’s threats, perhaps the most injurious is the threat posed by insiders—individuals within your organization with access to confidential information, proprietary technologies and sensitive projects, that may purposefully exploit this access for personal gain or malicious intent. Understanding insider threats Insider threats can manifest in various forms, including the selling or sharing of intellectual property or classified information to foreign adversaries, exposing sensitive information outside of normal channels, or engaging in other criminal activities. These threats can come from individuals with various motivations, such as personal gain, ideology, or coercion.
