Exposing Insider Threats Through Data Protection, Identity, And HR Context
CrowdStrike, Wednesday, February 18th, 2026
Insider threats pose a growing risk to organizations. Whether insiders take malicious actions, exhibit negligent behavior, or make accidental errors, they have the potential to cause significant harm to an organization's assets, sensitive data, and reputation.
Insiders can pose a variety of risks, from stealing confidential data and intellectual property to disrupting systems. Understanding user behavior patterns, correlating activity across multiple data sources, and detecting behavioral anomalies early are critical to identifying both malicious insiders and negligent users before they cause significant harm.
CrowdStrike Falcon Data Protection and CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security, combined with CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, enable customers to quickly detect and respond to insider threats. Through the new Insider Threat Analytics and User Activity Investigation dashboards, both in Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, organizations can leverage user behavior analytics, data access patterns, risk indicator scoring, and policy violation alerts to identify and investigate insider risks.
