What Is an Insider Threat?

Insider threats occur when individuals within an organization use their authorized access, either intentionally or unintentionally, to cause harm. These threats don’t come solely from employees. Contractors, business partners and third-party vendors who have access to a business’s network, data or systems also pose serious risks.

Internal threats can manifest themselves in any of the following ways:

SABOTAGE

ESPIONAGE

UNAUTHORIZED INFO DISCLOSURE

VIOLENCE

TERRORISM

CORRUPTION & ORGANIZED CRIME

RESOURCE LOSS OR DEGRADATION

Types of Insider Threats

There are numerous types of insider threats that you should be aware of in your organization, including:

Trusted Insider

These insiders malevolently act without influence from any external sources. Individuals in high positions of power are particularly dangerous insiders because of their privilege and exclusive access.

Collaborators

Collaborators work with external threats like business competitors and use their insider access to harm their organizations. They may steal intellectual property, commit fraud or encourage espionage.

Pawns

These insiders are manipulated into committing malicious activities, usually unwittingly. They may fall victim to spear-phishing, malware attacks or third-party disguises.

Negligent Insiders

Negligent insiders don’t act with malicious intent, but their carelessness or disregard for the rules results in harm to the company. For example, someone who misplaces a storage device, ignores security patch updates or doesn’t adhere to security policies would be a negligent insider.

Detect and Monitor Insider Threats

Organizations can detect and monitor insider threats by deploying a mix of monitoring tools, internal controls, and user education. Key strategies include:

Employee screening

Track digital behavior for red flags like data access anomalies, download spikes, or suspicious logins.

Event auditing

Routine audits help companies understand what regular patterns and behaviors look like so they can recognize potentially fraudulent activity.

Action approval

Implement checks and balances by requiring specific administrators to approve employee actions.

Team training

Teaching employees to avoid fraud, scams and viruses is a proactive way to protect your company from threats.

Threat intelligence software

Use integrated investigation platforms like Kaseware to centralize alerts, collect threat indicators, and link behavior to investigations.
