What's inside
- 01~4 minWhat insider threat actually looks likeHollywood version: rogue genius copying secrets in the dead of night. Reality: a stressed engineer emailing themselves project files because they want to work from home, then leaving for a competitor a month later. Most insider incidents are accidental or careless, not malicious.
- 02~4 minWarning patterns — without becoming an amateur investigatorReal warning signs are pattern-based, not single events. Here's what genuinely matters to security teams, and what's just suspicion that can hurt good people.
- 03~4 minDepartures — the moment most insider incidents happenStatistically, the period around a planned or unplanned departure is when insider data loss is most likely. Healthy departure practices reduce risk without making leaving the company feel like an investigation.
