insider threat assessment

Insider threat assessment involves evaluating the risk posed by employees or trusted individuals within an organization who might intentionally or unintentionally misuse their access to harm the organization. This process includes analyzing behaviors, monitoring activities, and reviewing access patterns to identify potential security risks. The goal is to prevent data breaches, fraud, or sabotage by recognizing warning signs early. It involves a combination of policies, technology, and human oversight to ensure that internal personnel act in the organization’s best interest while maintaining privacy and trust.
