Research has shown that insider threats can have a seismic impact on organizations of all sizes. When employees feel that their boss is watching their every move, it can reduce trust, create resentment and raise concerns about privacy rights.
As the threat landscape continues to evolve, insider threats have increased in frequency and complexity. They’ve progressed from petty theft and sabotage to full-scale ransomware attacks against their own employer. Business and security leaders are feeling the pressure to shore up security programs and quell insider security threats without risking established relationships with employees. It is more important than ever for organizations to bolster security by developing and implementing a proactive insider threat program that preserves the trust of their teams.
