Invasion of the body snatchers: Insidious insider

Within the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape, insider threats present a significant and often underestimated internal security challenge. Authorised individuals, such as employees or contractors, may exploit their access privileges for unauthorised or malicious purposes. This inherent trust in insiders, coupled with their valid credentials, complicates the detection of suspicious activity compared to external threats. The potential consequences of insider threats are substantial, ranging from unauthorised data access to sabotage and reputational damage.
