Insider threats are on the rise. According to McKinsey, over 50% of data breaches in the past year involved an insider, whether full-time employee, part-time contractor, or strategic business partner. Managing insider threats fundamentally requires a people-centric approach.

In this session, you will learn:

• The key value propositions of Insider Threat Management (ITM) solutions: managing user risk, detecting insider-led data breaches, and accelerating incident response  
• The ITM tools that organizations can leverage to improve their risk posture and reduce the possibility of insider-led data loss—with real-life case studies to illustrate  
• The different types of insider threats, and how understanding the full context helps resolve incidents faster  
• Steps you can take to build your own successful ITM program

We will also cover actionable strategies to manage your organisation's risk, including the value of a technology-enabled ITM program.
