All individuals with access to or knowledge of an organization's computers, networks, facilities, information, or personnel are potential insider threats, including vendors and contractors. The ability to intentionally use or accidentally misuse any of this information can breach confidentiality, reveal trade secrets, cause a data security incident, or harm an organization's personnel, ultimately impacting its reputation and ability to do business.
Sensitive data loss episodes can have reputational, financial, legal, and regulatory consequences. CISOs need to have their data leakage defences and best practices in place.
