Insider Threats
Examples of the risks and attacks that originate from, or exploit vulnerabilities within, your organisation, including:
- Applicant fraud
- Employee theft

What problem does it solve?
Organisations are at risk from the insider threat (also known as internal fraud) and other fraud and security risks that originate from inside an organisation, collectively called 'The Insider Threat'.
Examples include:
- employees stealing customer data or siphoning money and/or company funds / stock
- employees taking bribes from suppliers in exchange for favourable treatment
- employees working multiple roles at the same time (known as polygamous working)
- potential employees falsifying information on their employment applications
There are many more examples of how the insider threat can manifest itself in an organisation.
