The Increasing Impact of Insider Threats

The group started their conversation by discussing how to measure the loss perspective of insider threats. This included defining key factors of loss like reputational damage, intellectual property loss, and loss or exposure of research activity. The conversation then shifted to “how do we better understand our employees?” The group talked about efforts like continued training and rewarding positive work ethic as a means to better motivate employees and help reduce the number of potential insider threats. This soon moved to a discussion of also better understanding employees who might be struggling and how to help them.
