What is Insider Threat?
Insider threat is a critical and often underestimated aspect of organizational security. While significant focus is typically placed on defending against external threats, history has shown that the malicious or negligent actions of insiders can have catastrophic consequences for businesses, governmental agencies, and other institutions. When discussing insider threats, it’s paramount to adopt an authoritative perspective, given the gravity and complexity of the topic.
An insider threat arises from individuals within the organization, such as employees, former employees, contractors, or business associates, who have inside information concerning the organization’s security practices, data, and computer systems. These threats can be both intentional (malicious intent) and unintentional (negligence):
- Malicious Insiders: These individuals intentionally harm the organization by stealing data, committing fraud, sabotaging systems, or aiding external adversaries.
- Negligent Insiders: Individuals who, through carelessness or lack of knowledge, inadvertently cause harm. This includes employees who fall for phishing attacks, misuse systems, or mishandle sensitive data.
- Infiltrators: External actors who gain legitimate access to the organization, typically through social engineering or by attaining a position within the company, to commit harm.
