What Does Your 2020 Insider Threat Plan Look Like?

Don’t underestimate the human aspect of insider threats.

• Employee negligence is to blame for 64 % of total cybersecurity threats.
• Disgruntled employees can be motivated by financial gains after resigning, involuntary retrenchment or being fired, while some are driven by the gains from pure sabotage. 
• Criminal insiders can slowly extract data over time to avoid detection and gain supplemental income. 
• Insiders can willingly or unwillingly collaborate with malicious external actors who attempt to recruit employees through bribes or blackmail. 

So, how can organizations mitigate the risk of insider threats?

• Shift from deterrence to detection
• Behavioral analytics with access logging, automation and risk scores
• Artificial intelligence and machine learning for error-proof solutions 
• Employee awareness training and satisfaction 
• Adherence to industry compliance regulations
