Not all cybersecurity threats come from the outside. A study by Bitglass indicates that 61% of all businesses reported at least one case of an insider threat in the last year.
Insider threats can originate from anywhere within your organization. The individuals behind these threats could be anyone from a careless employee clicking a malicious email link to a disgruntled employee willfully stealing your intellectual property.
To combat these risks, you need to understand how they emerge in the first place, and how they can impact your business. From excessive user privileges to poor password hygiene, you need to know the various ways in which your security posture could be affected.
Once you know the risks and understand what’s at stake, you can create a proactive defense strategy that involves security awareness training, strict IT policies, ongoing monitoring and more.
It’s time to protect yourself from the disastrous consequences of insider threats by building a resilient cybersecurity posture.
