If you were part of the workforce before the year 2000, the emphasis on security and compliance might not have been as pronounced unless you were in a government role or a company with legal obligations. However, with the advent of cloud services in 2010, the landscape changed, and privacy compliance gained significant relevance, especially as companies expanded their services globally. Fast forward to the 2020s, where security and compliance are now mainstream.

When company leaders and managers consider their cybersecurity risks, they too often focus on their vulnerability to external threats only. While state-sponsored attacks, phishing attacks, ransomware, and third-party software infiltration are becoming more prevalent in the current threat landscape, it’s important that those potentialities don’t distract attention from the dangers posed by insider threats.

As insider threats become more common, cybersecurity experts need tools that make detecting and preventing them easier. One powerful tool is Splunk, a leading platform for security information and event management (SIEM). In this guide, we’ll explore how to use Splunk to improve your organization’s security against insider threats.
