Insider Risk Management

What Is Insider Risk Management?

An Insider Risk Management is a malevolent, thoughtless, or negligent threat to an organization that originates from within the organization, such as employees, former employees, contractors, or business associates, who have inside knowledge of the organization's security processes, data, and computer systems. Fraud, the theft of personal or commercially valuable information, or the sabotage of computer systems are all possible threats. The 'rule of three' might be used to explain the insider danger. Monitoring and surveillance capabilities are among the products and services available in this sector. Although the terms 'surveillance' and 'monitoring'are frequently used interchangeably.
