Protect your organization from malicious or unintentional threats from insiders with access to your network
Explore how organizations can secure AI at scale, strengthen cyber resilience, and reduce risk without slowing innovation.
Insider threats are people with legitimate access to your network who use their access in a way that causes harm to the organization. Potential insider threats can be difficult to detect—most cases go unnoticed for months or years.
According to IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report 2026, data breaches initiated by malicious insiders were the most costly, global averaging USD 4.99 million cost of a data breach, a 12% increase over last year and a record high—driven by higher detection, escalation and lost business costs. That’s why insider risk management and insider threat prevention are such important components of any cybersecurity program.
Whether an insider is a malicious current or former employee or a contractor with compromised credentials, security teams must quickly and accurately detect suspicious activity and data leaks, investigate data breaches and respond to potentially damaging attacks.
