In this article, we’ll shed light on the main insider threat program requirements and share the best tips on how to build an insider risk program.

In today’s complex and interdependent world, it’s incredibly difficult to deliver a product or service without a supply chain. But this dependency creates additional risks – from reputational losses to major business disruptions. And with 62% of organizations being impacted by supply chain cyberattacks in 2021, mitigating risks created by third parties is extremely important.

As the number and severity of cybersecurity attacks rise each year, organizations are compelled to look for measures to protect sensitive data. The abundance of cybersecurity solutions on the market may create confusion and pressure, as choosing the wrong one may lead to security gaps. Many companies turn to data loss prevention (DLP) systems, since they have been on the market for years. But is a DLP system enough to protect your data?

Regular communication with CISOs may not be enough for the board to fully understand and adequately invest in cybersecurity. According to a survey conducted by Neustar International Security Council in November 2022, only 49% of organizations have the requisite budget to meet their cybersecurity needs. Thus, only half of all CISOs receive enough resources to enforce effective cybersecurity strategies.

Data security is vital to your organization’s well-being. Even a single data exfiltration incident can bring unwanted attention to your organization, leading to reputational and financial losses. That’s why companies across industries pay maximum attention to their cybersecurity measures and constantly enhance them. In this article, we explain the meaning of data exfiltration and how it’s performed.

Financial data is a desired target for cybercriminals. Hackers frequently attack financial institutions such as banks, loan services, investment and credit unions, and brokerage firms.

Moreover, their motives can be unobvious, which makes detecting them even more challenging. In this article, we explore insider fraud and its risks, as well as how to mitigate those risks through a comprehensive insider risk management strategy.
