It now includes insider threats, which are much more complex and difficult to manage. The nature of insider threats can be categorized into malicious, accidental, or negligent, and account for a combined 39% of all data breaches according to recent research. But by employing a modern breed of analytics that enables organizations to analyze documents for sensitive content, review user actions, and track the flow of data across the enterprise, cybersecurity stakeholders can now identify many common indicators of negligent or malicious activity, including accessing, moving, or deleting large volumes of sensitive content; inappropriately creating, storing, or sending sensitive content; or expressing extreme negative sentiment towards the organization in messages. Increasingly, technology and improved practices can help you identify those employees who are most at risk of exposing your company to a cyberattack – before it becomes a major problem.
