Insider Threats FAQs

There are some questions:

Any user with internal access to your data could be an insider threat. Vendors, contractors, and employees are all potential insider threats. Suspicious events from specific insider threat monitoring indicators include:

Recruitment: Employees and contractors can be convinced by outside attackers to send sensitive data to a third party. Voluntary: Disgruntled and dissatisfied employees can voluntarily send or sell data to a third party without any coercion. Unknowing: Due to phishing or social engineering, an individual may disclose sensitive information to a third party.

Because insiders have at least basic access to data, they have an advantage over an external threat that must bypass numerous firewalls and intrusion detection monitoring. The level of authorised access depends on the user’s permissions, so a high-privilege user has access to more sensitive information without the need to bypass security rules.
External threats are definitely a concern for corporations, but insider threats require a unique strategy that focuses on users with access, rather than users bypassing authorisation. Attacks that originate from outsiders with no relationship or basic access to data are not considered insider threats. Note that insiders can help external threats gain access to data either purposely or unintentionally.

Insider threats can come from anywhere.
