WEBINAR SERIES
The Insider Threat Matrix™: A Holistic Approach to Insider Threats
Wednesday, October 15 and October 29 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET
Industry frameworks play a critical role in helping teams assess cybersecurity controls against known adversarial tactics and best practices. Launched in 2024, The Insider Threat Matrix™ is an open, public framework purpose-built to address insider threats. Unlike traditional frameworks, it’s centered entirely on the human element — empowering teams to classify, detect, and respond to insider threat events. The Insider Threat Matrix™ offers a roadmap to strengthen your defenses, whether you're building a new insider threat program or enhancing an existing one.
Join us for a two-part webinar series as we dive into the framework that helps organizations better understand and mitigate risks. In part one, hear directly from the creators as they share the story behind the matrix, why they built it, and how it’s reshaping the way we think about insider threats. In part two, learn from a seasoned practitioner who’s using the matrix in the field. Discover practical insights, lessons learned, and how it’s making a measurable impact.
