The report finds that &#8220;As firms add capabilities for detecting insider threats, they will also be able to identify and attribute more incidents to insider activity than they were previously. Give specific focus to insider threat defense, emphasize employee experience to avoid turning employees into malicious insiders, and remember that trust is not a control.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbronline.com\/feature\/defending-against-the-threats-within\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.cbronline.com\/feature\/defending-against-the-threats-within\">Insider Threats can generally be classified into three types:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>unintentional <\/strong>&#8211; these are usually the result of carelessness<\/li><li><strong>emotionally motivated<\/strong> &#8211; caused by individuals that have a personal grudge for some reason.

It is a byproduct of employees getting their work done everyday \u2013 how they create, access and share files in today\u2019s collaboration culture. However, security teams are at a disadvantage: there is a lack of understanding of Insider Risk, which is leading to complacency, failing technologies and inadequate processes. The severity of the Insider Risk problem is being consistently overlooked, evidenced by the sharp rise in risky behavior this year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"lightsocial_container\"><div
