Insider Cyber Theft and Sabotage: How Does It Work and How Can We Stop It?

In the current threat environment – with threat actors like North Korea targeting Sony Pictures and Russian hackers targeting the Ukraine power grid – it is important that organizations consider the potential harm that could result from a malicious insider in the organization. Learn from a series of real life insider attacks why you should be motivated to mitigating this risk in your own organization. Then learn what you can do about it. Insider threats are happening every day, and it’s fairly easy and inexpensive to start building an effective Insider Risk Program if you understand what to do. It takes teamwork and buy-in from the top, but you’ll be amazed at what you can do with technologies you already have in place. And if you already have a program that’s great – you will learn how to mature that program to mitigate the very serious threat of insider cyber sabotage.
