Human Risk Quick Tips: Insider Threat Indicators
Security threats can come from trusted individuals within your organization or partners, contractors, and service providers with authorized access to sensitive systems and data. These insiders may be motivated by personal gain, sabotage, or external influence, and their actions can cause significant harm to your operations, financial health, and reputation through data breaches and intellectual property theft.
Identifying potential threats requires vigilance and proactive monitoring of key behavioral, technical, and organizational indicators. Business and departmental leaders across the organization - including security, human resources, and legal - should be aware of insider threat signals that arise through individual behaviors, interactions with IT and online business systems, and compliance with organizational processes and policies.
