The security threat landscape is evolving at an alarming rate, with companies of all sizes being impacted. At the same time, security is all too often discussed primarily in the context of threats that come from the outside. True, cybercriminals and other outside threats certainly should be top of mind, but organizations today need to recognize that there are threats within their own four walls, too.
Yes, end users, whether well-meaning or malicious, may get some attention as a potential threat vector, but still not enough heed is given. And it doesn’t end there – though IT departments and the venerable professionals who staff them deserve much credit for not only fighting a tireless battle against myriad threats but also keeping business moving, they themselves can unwittingly become a security vulnerability as well.
