Security News > 2020 > July > The Enemy Within: How Insider Threats Are Changing

The way forward is a system that can monitor data in real time and even predict threats before they happen, according to Gurucul CEO Saryu Nayyar and COO Craig Cooper, who both recently participated in a Threatpost editorial webinar devoted to how businesses can protect against insider threats.

Cooper offers a raft of independent survey data on business attitudes on insider threats as well as attack data; and follows with insights into best practices for addressing the risk, including examples of how one hospital group in Minneapolis, Minn. was able to come up with a game plan to secure Tom Brady's medical records from the tabloids during the ramp-up to the 2018 Super Bowl.

Tara Seals: Hello, everyone, and thank you for attending today's Threatpost webinar, entitled The Enemy: Within How Insider Threats Are Changing.

We asked: How vulnerable is your organization insider threats? And what we found interesting here is that, if you look at this, the vast majority of end users or cybersecurity professionals out there feel that their organization - almost 70 percent - feel that their organization is vulnerable to insider attacks.

We want to leave you guys behind with two sides of the equation insider risk equation: X, axis, and activity, both are equally important to really mitigate the insider threats.
