Insider risk is making headlines and negatively impacting organizations across the globe. Whether caused unwittingly or conducted with malicious intent, damage from insider risk can result in lost revenue, compromise competitive advantage, incur reputational damage, and erode customer trust. 

Today, insider risk is not limited to an organization’s employees. Trusted third parties, such as contractors, vendors, suppliers, joint ventures and partners who have authorized access to your physical sites, data and systems create insider risk vulnerabilities.  And increasingly foreign states and competitors are intentionally targeting employees and infiltrating organizations to steal intellectual property or other critical assets.  Even as organizations fortify their cybersecurity posture, criminal groups and other bad actors are focusing on employees as an easier way to obtain critical assets or cause damage. Regardless of industry sector or type of organization, insider vulnerabilities and risks are multiplying.
