INSIDER THREAT PROTECTION

Malicious insider attacks are among the most damaging to businesses, and the frequency of insider-led incidents is up 44% so far this year [2022]. Threat actors can leverage the human variable within your company to access organizational data and systems to conduct fraudulent activity, install malware, employ phishing and vishing scams, and commit identity theft.

Insider threat is the intentional or unintentional disclosure of key information by a human within an organization to a cybercriminal to conduct illegal activities or to gain further access into the organization’s data and systems.

Some insider threats include:

• Employees unintentionally sharing key information directly with threat actors or allowing threat actors to access data within the organization.

• Employees intentionally providing information to threat actors, often for financial compensation

• Access is often leveraged to monetize intrusion and fraud techniques within an organization’s systems
