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.
