Insider threats (aka insider risks) have become a growing concern for organizations across industries. These threats come from individuals within an organization who have authorized access to sensitive data and systems but misuse them for personal gain or to cause harm. Many organizations are turning to insider threat software to combat this issue, which helps identify, detect, and mitigate insider threats before they cause significant damage.

Many security professionals prioritize data loss prevention (DLP). To this end, they’re increasingly relying on DLP software to make their lives easier. DLP software solutions are proactive rather than reactive. These tools provide flexible control over highly sensitive data, monitor and identify potential weak points, and provide a robust defense against even the most damaging data loss and security incidents.

The role of the сhief information officer (CIO) has transformed over the years, extending beyond traditional technical responsibilities. Currently, CIOs are facing numerous issues, such as widely distributed workforces, economic hurdles, and adopting cutting-edge technologies. In this article, we’ll cover these and other challenges facing CIOs today, and measures you can take to navigate them.

In the world of enterprise security, most teams are laser-focused on defending organizational IT assets from external actors: cybercriminals, digital fraudsters, state-backed hackers, and other external adversaries. But data on the frequency and cost of insider attacks suggests that security teams should shift their focus toward threats that originate from inside their organizations.

Despite significant investments in cybersecurity tools like Identity and Access Management (IAM), Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), and Data Loss Prevention (DLP), insider risks continue to grow. Why? These tools primarily focus on actions, logs, and event recognition rather than taking a deep, sophisticated approach to understanding human behavior over time. Insider threats—whether from negligence, malicious intent, or compromised users—are notoriously difficult to detect.

First coined by Gartner in 2021 (subscription required), the term continuous adaptive trust is gaining popularity. This new authentication model might be the solution to constantly evolving threats, strict regulatory requirements, and cloud vulnerabilities. Continuous adaptive trust represents a shift in cybersecurity, moving beyond traditional static access management models to a dynamic, real-time approach that continuously evaluates trust levels based on changing risk factors.
