Combating the Insider Threat

Many organizations today are drowning in fears and concerns surrounding sophisticated cyber-attacks such as Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), DDoS, ransomware and zero-day exploits. While this constant onslaught of attacks can be difficult to keep up with, businesses and government organizations also need to be mindful of perhaps the most alarming type of attack out there – the insider threat. According to a report by Forrester Research, insiders are the top source of data breaches, with 36 percent of breaches stemming from the inadvertent misuse of data by employees. Additionally, 25 percent of respondents in the Forrester report said that abuse by a malicious insider was the most common way in which a breach occurred over the course of one year.
