Almost 65% of the nearly 300 international cybersecurity professionals canvased by Gurucul at RSA Conference 2020 said they access documents that have nothing to do with their jobs.

"Detecting impermissible access to resources by authorized users, whether it is malicious or not, is virtually impossible with traditional monitoring tools. That's why many organizations are turning to security and risk analytics that look at both employee and entity behaviors to identify anomalies indicative of insider threats."

In healthcare, 33% have abused their privileged access.

In manufacturing, 78% accessed documents unrelated to their jobs.

Monitoring and deterring risky employee behavior with machine learning based security analytics is the most effective measure in keeping mayhem to a minimum.
