Redefining Insider Threats

In this episode Dr Lisa Warren from Code Black Threat Management (a pioneer in the behavioural threat management field) explains why the traditional definition of an insider threat (that being an employee or former employee, who takes proprietary data for personal gain) may no longer be accurate in that it is not broad enough.

In this podcast, Dr Warren explains that exploitation can go well beyond the risks to computer data, and she explores the benefits of challenging the traditional definition of insider threat to include the range of behavioural threats employees can pose to an organisation, its reputation and business continuity. Opportunities for detecting insider threats early are presented, as the benefits of creating a physically and psychologically safe workplaces where aggressive and deceptive behaviour are not tolerated.
