Insider threats: Are you prepared for the enemy within?

About this event

Why insider risks are rising and how to detect them before it’s too late.

Insider threats are one of the fastest-growing cybersecurity challenges and often the most costly. Why? Because they originate from trusted employees and contractors with legitimate access.

Join us for a ​50 - minute presentation and Q&A that will uncover:

• The different types of insider threats regardless of whether they are malicious or accidental - and why they often go unnoticed.
• How stressors like personal, workplace and financial pressure increase vulnerability
• How planned and unplanned organisation changes bring a multiplier effect
• The early warning indicators (technical, digital and behavioural) and why they’re missed.
• A practical framework to detect risks early, support employees, and uphold organisational values.

The Q&A will include a panel chaired by Ryan Williams, Employment Partner Dan Read of Walkers Global, David Carney, CIISF and Andy Compton, Cortida Limited.
