| Titre | What is Insider Threat? |
| Texte |
As the name implies, this should be an excellent starting point for the subject topic, in this case insider threat. While I make every effort to be thorough and hit every aspect, there are times that I inadvertently omit things or skip them due to scope, time, length or applicability. Email any questions you have about this or any other topic to blog@advancedpersistentsecurity.net
This blog aims to inform you about insider threat. This is from both a personal and a commercial perspective, meaning that it can be applied in both settings.

Introduction
This is a time when organizations are spending more than ever before on information security solutions. Often, these solutions are effective in protecting much of an organization's assets.

Malicious insiders can inflict incalculable damage. They enable the enemy to plant boots behind our lines and can compromise our nation's most important endeavors.

One theory of the Ashley Madison data breach is that insider threat enabled the “Impact Team breach” or readily handed the data over.
With limited knowledge and insight, some believe that the Bank of Bangladesh SWIFT attacks were insider threat.
Seemingly without information, the Yahoo data breaches may be due to insider threat.
