Insider Challenges
Insiders represent a growing source of risk for organizations of all sizes and across all industries. According to a study by the Ponemon Institute, the cost of insider threats exceeds the collective cost of viruses, botnets, and phishing attacks. Nearly half of all organizations surveyed by E-Crime Watch have experienced at least one malicious, deliberate insider incident. And a study by US-CERT shows employees are most likely to perpetrate IP theft in last 30 days of their employment.
In today's interconnected world, any employee, contractor or partner can also be an inadvertent participant in threats initiated from within or beyond a corporate network. At the same time, insider threats are harder to detect because of the implicit levels of trust.
Insider Threat Security Intelligence provides visibility to potential threats from within by correlating users with their roles and network activity. Your ability to detect abuses and anomalies in the behavior of high-risk, high-profile, or high-privilege users will help to reduce insider threat and espionage risk.
Insider Threat Security Intelligence advantages:
- Identify and eliminate threats before they are exploited
- Minimize the impact of adverse events that do occur
- Achieve situational awareness of current threats
- Automate manual reporting processes
- Expedite remediation and incident response times
- Continually measure the effectiveness of security processes
- Automate the monitoring and enforcement of security controls
- Fully integrate people, process, and technology into the life cycle of security events
