2017 - The Growing Internal Cyber-Threats and How to Protect Against Them

Description:
Companies have enough to worry about from outsiders when it comes to cybersecurity. From clever hackers infiltrating their networks to criminal gangs stealing their data and government surveillance of their systems, security teams have to be on their toes at all times. But the insider threat can be just as dangerous and sometimes harder to detect.
According to the 2015 Insider Threat Spotlight Report, 62 per cent of security professionals are seeing a rise in insider attacks. While many of these are malicious attacks, they can also be unintentional breaches. The consequences, no matter the motivation, can be equally devastating.
This timely webinar discusses the most current and dangerous insider cybersecurity threats and outlines measures for preventing and investigating insider data theft, industrial espionage, cyber-sabotage, identity theft and more.
The webinar will cover:
? Types of insider threats and most common perpetrators
? Red flags of internal data theft, cyber-sabotage, identity theft and espionage to watch for
