In this episode of Proofpoint’s Education Series, Proofpoint breaks down insider threats, what they are, how they happen, and how you can stop them.
Insider threats are risks that stem from your users’ access to critical data, systems and other resources. When that access is misappropriated-whether by negligence or malice-it can harm the organization.
Not every insider threat is obvious. Managing insider threats starts with knowing the context of the incident and user intent. There are three main types of insider threats:
• Malicious insiders: users with a malicious intent to harm the organization from the inside
• Negligent insiders: employees or third parties who make a mistake that causes a problem
• Compromised insiders: users whose account has been taken over by an outside attacker though phishing or credential theft
There’s no single approach to managing them, because they’re not all the same.
Proofpoint helps you understand the difference between these insider threats, and how to help solve each type of threat. Does your insider threat management solution tell the difference?
