Insider Threat is a key component of a cybersecurity program. The concept is noble- a cyber team organized and monitoring the enterprise to prevent sabotage, malicious acts, and data loss by trusted employees. With many things, the original intent has experienced mission creep and Insider Threat is used to monitor the workforce for compliance and performance. The actual program itself may be warped to become a tool for management oversight and employee termination. This talk will reveal what ‘they are watching’ by a speaker voluntold to perform this role.
