As cyberattacks snowball and insider threats become an ever-larger part of the problem, it may be time to move beyond purely software-based cyber-defenses.

Insider threats have become an alarmingly significant source of risk.

The human interface device, the keyboard, often overlooked when companies look to implement internal security measures, is also the place where almost all insider threats begin.

Organizations need to prioritize the use of security-enhanced keyboards that can stop threats before they can even be entered into the network.

Recent keyboard improvements can also now provide higher security through two-factor authentication using a smart card.

Leveraging these secure keyboards is a very strong first step in combating internal threats and winning the security battle.
