| Titre | Atténuation des menaces d'initié: 5 meilleures pratiques pour réduire le risque Insider Threat Mitigation: 5 Best Practices to Reduce Risk |
| Texte | (This is an updated version of a blog that was originally published on 1/28/21.) Most security teams focus on detecting and preventing external threats. But not all threats come from the outside. The shift to hybrid work, accelerated cloud adoption and high rates of employee turnover have created a perfect storm for data loss and insider threats over the past several years. Today, insider threats rank amongst the top concerns for security leaders-30% of chief information security officers report that insider threats are their biggest cybersecurity threat over the next 12 months. It\'s easy to understand why. Insider threats have increased 44% since 2020 due to current market dynamics-and security teams are struggling to keep pace. According to the Verizon 2023 Data Breach Investigations Report, 74% of all breaches involve the human element. In short, data doesn\'t lose itself. People lose it. When the cybersecurity risk to your company\'s vital systems and data comes from the inside, finding ways to mitigate it can be daunting. Unlike with tools that combat external threats, security controls for data loss and insider threats can impact users\' daily jobs. However, with the right approach and insider threat management tools, that doesn\'t have to be the case. In this blog post, we\'ll share best practices for insider threat mitigation to help your business reduce risk and overcome common challenges you might face along the way. What is an insider threat? But first, let\'s define what we mean by an insider threat. In the cybersecurity world, the term “insider” describes anyone with authorized access to a company\'s network, systems or data. In other words, it is someone in a position of trust. Current employees, business partners and third-party contractors can all be defined as insiders. As part of their day-to-day jobs, insiders have access to valuable data and systems like: Computers and networks Intellectual property (IP) Personal data Company strategy Financial information Customer and partner lists All insiders pose a risk given their position of trust-but not all insiders are threats. An insider threat occurs when someone with authorized access to critical data or systems misuses that access-either on purpose or by making a mistake. The fallout from an insider threat can be dire for a business, including IP loss, legal liability, financial consequences and reputational damage. The challenge for security firms is to determine which insiders are threats, and what type of threats they are, so they know how to respond. There are three insider threat types: Careless. This type of risky insider is best described as a user with good intentions who makes bad decisions that can lead to data loss. The 2022 Cost of Insider Threats Global Report from Ponemon Institute notes that careless users account for more than half (56%) of all insider-led incidents. Malicious. Some employees-or third parties, like contractors or business partners-are motivated by personal gain. Or they might be intent on harming the business. In either case, these risky users might want to exfiltrate trade secrets or take IP when they leave the company. Industrial espionage and sabotage are examples of malicious insider activity. Ponemon research shows malicious insiders account for 26% of insiders. Compromised. Sometimes, external threat actors steal user login information or other credentials. They then use those credentials to access applications and systems. Ponemon reports that compromised users account for 18% of insiders. Insider threat mitigation best practices Companies can minimize brand and financial damage by detecting and stopping insider threats. How each security team approaches insider threats will vary depending on the industry, maturity and business culture. However, every organization can use the five best practices we\'ve outlined below to improve their insider threat prevention. 1. Identify your risky users Most insiders fall into the “care |
