Consider this situation: A man talks on the phone with a known bank robber. He then rents a building next to a bank. Next, he buys duct tape and ski masks. Any one of these actions could be a red flag alerting police to a potential robbery. But together, they tell a more complete story of a crime in the making. Similarly, in cybersecurity, any single suspicious activity is worth investigating.
As cyber threats become increasingly advanced and complex, organizations are forced to adopt a military attitude of ‘war footing’ to secure their systems and servers. Although the use of new technologies has increased to manage complex workloads and operations, the vulnerability of data stored on devices continues to be a worry. Accenture research revealed that cyberattacks have soared by a shocking 125% yearly.
As the number of IoT devices grows, predicted “to reach 27 billion or more by 2025 (IDC, IoT Analytics)”, so does the need for IoT device management companies and security solutions. While there are many benefits to the IoT, there are also security risks that come along with it.

As organizations continue to move their business operations into the cloud, the expanded attack surface generated by the “digital transformation” continues to present new opportunities for threat actors. Luckily, strategies to mitigate these new risks do exist and, as always, these center around the techniques and tactics of the adversaries.
In Q3 2022, Kroll saw insider threat peak to its highest quarterly level to date, accounting for nearly 35% of all unauthorized access threat incidents. Kroll also observed a number of malware infections via USB this quarter, potentially pointing to wider external factors that may encourage insider threat, such as an increasingly fluid labor market and economic turbulence.
