The insider threat is a serious and growing concern for organizations, as employees, contractors, or partners with access to sensitive data can pose security risks. These threats may be intentional, such as data theft or sabotage, or unintentional, like mishandling information. To protect against insider attacks, organizations should implement strict access controls, monitor user activities, conduct regular security training, and foster a culture of trust and accountability. Utilizing advanced threat detection systems can also help identify and mitigate risks before they cause harm.
