In today’s digital age, the threat of cyber attacks is constantly looming over organizations. While external threats such as hackers and malware are often the focus of cybersecurity efforts, it’s important not to overlook the threat posed by insiders.

An insider threat occurs when someone within an organization, whether intentionally or unintentionally, puts the security of the organization at risk. This could be a disgruntled employee looking to sabotage the company, a careless employee who falls victim to a phishing scam, or even a well-meaning employee who accidentally leaks sensitive information.

It’s crucial for organizations to have measures in place to detect and prevent insider threats. This includes implementing strong access controls, monitoring employee behavior for any suspicious activity, and providing regular cybersecurity training to all employees.

By being aware of the insider threat and taking proactive steps to mitigate the risk, organizations can better protect themselves from potential security breaches. Remember, the enemy may already be inside the gates.
