Although media coverage of data breach incidents tends to focus on external malicious actors carrying out "hacking" attacks, it is insider-related vulnerabilities and threats that create the most serious risks for many organizations. Whether it is a trusted insider abusing authorized access for personal gain, or a well-intended but unaware employee falling victim to a social engineering attack such as spear phishing, insider risks cannot be overlooked. This session will detail some recent statistics that emphasize the role of insiders in creating cyber security risk and will provide practical guidance on how to transform your biggest potential liability into a key asset of your information security program. Achieving a true shift in attitudes and awareness and fostering a culture of security is not easy but it can be done if there is commitment from the top.
