The Insider Threat to Enterprises

If you’ve ever sat through a business class, or read the news, you’ve most likely heard all about the external data security threats a business faces on a regular basis.

But rarely are the internal threats to a business discussed or acted upon. In real fact, internal threats are more common than one may believe, especially with the immense shift to remote working.

Some Facts:

It was reported that, since 2018, there has been a 47% increase in insider incidents. More than half those incidents were caused due to employee carelessness. With employees that have malicious intent causing most of the damage.

Internal threats may seem miniscule compared to external ones. But in reality, these incidents cost businesses between US$307,000–871,000 per incident.

The longer it takes an incident to be identified, the more it will cost a business. On average, incidents remain undetected for 314 days, costing companies an average of US$1,600,000.

With the pandemic, businesses have been forced to increase remote access for employees working from home. This has in turn resulted in a greater risk of insider threat.
