Remote work, cloud adoption, and employee turnover are creating risks of data loss and insider threats. According to the 2022 Ponemon Cost of Insider Threat Report, insider-led incidents have increased 44% over the past two years, making it imperative for organizations to be aware of the potential for insider threats and have a strategy to address them.    

In this session, our instructors will provide a foundational overview of insider threats. Join us for the first course as we discuss: 

• What are insider threats and how they differ from insider risk  
• The three types of insider threats 
• Key approaches to detecting and managing insider threats 
• How Insider Threat Management (ITM) and DLP are converging 
• The definition of an Insider Threat Management program 

Insider Threat Management (ITM) takes a holistic focus on managing the risks that insiders pose to your organization’s assets, systems, and data. A successful ITM program goes beyond the Security team to include HR, Legal, and Compliance. All must work together toward a common goal: protecting data and decreasing risk to the business. A well-run ITM program must include people, process, and technology.  

Join us for the second course to learn: 

• How to build an Insider Threat Management Program 
• Approaches for balancing security and privacy 
• Tools used to manage insider threats and required capabilities 
• How to measure success 

Insider threats are on the rise. However, not all threats are created equal. Insider use cases range from careless users to departing employees to credential theft – each requiring a different response. Security teams need to correlate alerts and manage investigations quickly and efficiently to minimize business damage – both within and outside of Security.

Join us for the third and last course to hear first-hand about the day in the life of an insider threat analyst from two Insider Threat Program Managers. You will learn about: 

• Use cases - insider threat indicators, context, and common responses 
• Benefits of proactive threat hunting 
• Controls for escalation and oversight 
• How to streamline investigations with HR, Legal, and Compliance 
• Insider threat as part of the broader security ecosystem
