By James Rees, MD, Razorthorn Security In an era of interconnected services and external partnerships, two critical security challenges loom large: third party risk and insider threats. Recent events highlight these concerns – from the massive breach of Social Security numbers through a service provider to the CrowdStrike incident that grounded major airlines, causing hundreds of millions in damages.

Overlooked privileged accounts represent a serious vulnerability for organizations of all sizes.

Insider risk management is more critical than ever as human error and insider threats drive escalating security breaches. While many organizations have adopted User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) to monitor potential risks, relying solely on UEBA may fall short of the depth needed to stay ahead of these increasingly complex threats.

When it comes to data loss, the biggest yet common dangers these days come from within the organization, and social engineering and insider threats are one of the main reasons. This shows that human mistakes are just as risky as external attacks. In this piece, you’ll see how social engineering and insider threats result in data loss. In addition to that, you’ll look at real examples to understand the seriousness of such threats and talk about steps companies can take to protect themselves.

Monitoring remote desktop protocol (RDP) connections to your infrastructure is essential for maintaining a secure IT environment and managing insider risks. Additionally, recording remote user activity on your organization’s servers and other critical endpoints is often a requirement of cybersecurity laws and regulations.

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.
