New data reveals a significant shift in insider threat landscape

Insider threats have grown, with 68% of breaches involving human error or social engineering. The average cost of insider-caused breaches rose to $16.2 million in 2023, with incidents up by 44% in one year.

This white paper examines three types of insider threats:

• Negligent insiders (55%) - accidental mistakes
• Compromised insiders (20%) - stolen credentials
• Malicious insiders (25%) - intentional harm

Effective management requires collaboration across HR, Legal, and Security teams. The CISO should not handle this alone. Organizations need:

• Formal frameworks
• Behavioral detection
• Clear communication
