Do you have an Inside Threat? 

An insider is any person who has or had authorized access to or knowledge of an organization’s resources, including personnel, facilities, information, equipment, networks, and systems. 

Insider threat is the potential for an employee to use their authorized access or understanding of an organization to harm that organization. An insider threat is an employee, former employee, contractor, business associate or other person within an organization who has access to critical data and IT systems and therefore could cause harm to the business. Insider threats can be managed by policies, procedures and technologies that help prevent privilege misuse or reduce the damage it can cause. These best practices to prevent insider threats will help you minimize the risk of your sensitive data being compromised.
