When it comes to securing networks in today’s business environment, the single biggest challenge firms must contend with is that of the insider threat.

While the term is typically associated with corporate espionage or perhaps disgruntled workers, this threat is mostly not caused by malicious actors.

The insider threat simply refers to the damage caused by individuals who are granted legitimate access to an organization’s digital infrastructure. Most commonly, the threat of insiders takes the form of unintentional data leaks by employees. Emails containing sensitive files, data transfers to the wrong department, the granting of access to unauthorized parties. All of these and many other slips can result in serious cases of data loss and exposure. 

Indeed, it has long been recognized that the majority of data loss results from the actions of insiders. Notable cases of data exfiltration, often involving extremely sensitive information, has been attributed to negligent or inadvertent users.

These facts have serious implications for enterprise information security. The millions in assets and man-hours devoted to protecting the network from the outside could probably be put to better use improving employee interaction with their own data.
