Overview

Overview

Insider threats are people with legitimate access to your network who use their access in a way that causes harm to the organization. Insider threats can be difficult to detect — most cases go unnoticed for months or years. Whether the insider is a malicious employee or a contractor with compromised credentials, security teams need to quickly and accurately detect, investigate and respond to these potentially damaging attacks.
