Insider Threat: Evil Employees and the Nation-States and Competitors Who Love Them



View our on-demand webcast with our featured speaker Brian Contos, Securonix Vice President and Chief Security Strategist, for this provocative analysis of insider threats with real-life use cases. Brian is the author of a well-known book on insider threats, Enemy at the Water Cooler. He also co-authored a book on physical and logical security convergence with former NSA Deputy Director William Crowell. Brian is a frequent speaker at industry events and is often featured in media outlets such as CNBC, NPR, Fox, and Forbes. Following the briefing, David Swift, Principal Architect and security industry expert, will discuss how Securonix can help prevent such breaches in any organization.

Threat actors abound; from cyber criminals and hacktivists to nation-states and malicious insiders, many agencies are finding themselves at a crisis point. Perhaps the most technically and politically challenging of all these threats to mitigate are insiders. When the enemy is already inside, or masquerading as a legitimate insider, most security controls offer little to no value. The "bad guys" are getting the upper hand and for every insider discovered many more are going unnoticed.

Cybersecurity experts all agree, that in most cases, the data necessary to mitigate insider threats is already being captured by the agency. What agencies are lacking is the ability exploit the vast lakes of data to more efficiently and effectively predict, prevent, detect, and respond to malicious insiders.
