Overview
It is well known that employees are the weakest link in the prevention of cybersecurity attacks and can often be the cause of major cybersecurity incidents. Companies that fail to prevent employee-related cyber incidents—involving malicious and negligent employees—can experience reputational damage and loss of customers, and they can even be fined for failing to comply with privacy and security requirements. No company is immune from insider threats.
This Javelin Strategy & Research report underscores the important role all organizations—especially those in critical infrastructure industries—can play in preventing insiders from compromising company or customer data.
