Addressing Insider Threats: Strengthening Security Strategies

Insider threats to cybersecurity have surged by 44% from 2020 to 2022, according to a report by the Ponemon Institute, with each incident costing up to $15.38 million. The report reveals that just 26% of threats are from dangerous intent, while 56% occur due to errors or negligent behavior.
