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.
