Protect your Organization from Insider Threat

Protecting sensitive information from unauthorized manipulation by its employees and insiders has become a major concern for organizations. Current and former employees and other insiders who have knowledge and authorized access to internal systems and data pose equal threat that can be for financial gain or driven by revenge and dissatisfaction.

According to a survey conducted by the US Secret Service National Threat Assessment Center on insider threat, the typical employee who commits fraud has many years with the company, is an authorized user, is in a non-technical position, has no record of being a problem employee, uses legitimate computer commands to commit the fraud and does so mostly during business hours.

A global research by a leading security provider in 2009, uncovers ‘a misalignment of CSO security concerns with the greater number of internal breaches and the threat posed to a business' bottom line by accidental security breaches, inappropriate access, and misuse of information by its employee base.’

This survey found that accidental security incidents were predominant (52 percent) with 19% believing that the threats were deliberate. The remaining 26 percent believed they were an equal combination while 3 percent were unsure. “However, when asked to rank their top threats almost 82 percent of CSOs were unsure if incidents from contractors and temporary staff were accidental or deliberate.
