The Role of Detection in Insider Risk Series, Part 2 of 3: The Nexus of Technology in Support of Internal and External Human Risk Signals

Recent public comments by the directors of the FBI, CIA, and DCSA around the troubling call to action for those whose crisis of conscience, moral outrage put them on a path to radicalization and potential engagement in destructive actions. Globally and locally within our own cities there is a growing disgruntlement and perceived marginalization of individuals. These individuals, who make up our workforce and supply chain, are being targeted by external bad actors or simply zeroing in on the organizations or companies they work for as the root cause of their grievance.

Being able to discover the early risk signals before their ‘call to action’ goes active, organizations must expand their thinking and capabilities to address this risk surface. New technology employing AI, enhanced cyber and insider risk capabilities must be synergized with organization policies.  But, as we enhance our abilities to discover risk signals, we must anchor on privacy, compliance, nonbiased and identity resolution to reduce false positives all to build trust.
