Description: What is Insider Threat and why it is important, how it is affecting us, what you can do about it, and how to handle an Insider Threat if you discover one?
Learning Objectives:
1. What is an Insider Threat?
2. How is it affecting us at an Industry Level?
3. What can we do about it?
Insider threats, a significant risk for organizations, arise when employees, contractors, or business associates misuse access to systems, data, or facilities—whether intentionally or unintentionally—to harm the organization. These threats include theft, sabotage, data breaches, and physical harm and are often challenging to detect due to their internal nature. For HR professionals, awareness is vital to protect sensitive data, maintain workplace safety, comply with legal obligations, and mitigate financial and reputational damage. Insider threats increasingly affect organizations through data breaches, financial losses, workplace tensions, and reputational harm.
