Insider Threat Programs
Insider threat programs are measures organizations implement to identify and prevent risks posed by employees or trusted individuals who may misuse their access to sensitive information. These programs involve monitoring behaviors, providing training on security practices, and creating protocols to detect suspicious activity. The goal is to protect the organization from data breaches or fraud that can occur internally, ensuring that those with access are trustworthy and that any potential threats are addressed quickly and effectively. Essentially, it’s about safeguarding valuable information from those within the organization.
