Insider threats, whether malicious, negligent, or compromised, pose financial, reputational, and legal risks to companies.
The most common insider threats include loss of confidential data, sabotage and system damage, phishing and credential leaks, and reputational damage.
Prevention measures include restricting access, using Data Loss Prevention tools, implementing activity monitoring, and training staff regularly on cybersecurity best practices.
By adopting intelligent tools, strict policies, and a security-aware culture, organizations can effectively mitigate insider threats and prevent costly consequences.
