With data breaches and data theft occurring more quickly and with more sophistication than ever before, protecting your organization against cyber security threats has likely proven increasingly difficult.

Companies have commonly focused a majority of resources on protecting against malicious outsiders. And, while hacking and phishing are still a major cause for concern, it’s insiders—trusted employees, contractors and vendors—that have become the most cited culprits of cybercrime. There are myriad reasons for this, including infrequent security policy training, lack of employee ability to provide feedback to security teams, and, of course, purposeful insider attacks. For this reason, CISOs are increasingly looking for tools to identify and eliminate accidental and malicious insider activity.

As organizations evaluate user activity monitoring as a part of their plan to thwart insider threats, there are many questions that arise, including:

•    Who are the insiders that put organizations at risk… and what are their motives?
•    What types of organizations and data are most targeted?
•    What can organizations do to mitigate the risk of insider threats?

Gartner Vice President, Anton Chuvakin, and ObserveIT’s Gaby Friedlander address these questions and discuss best practices for Insider Threat programs in the Garnter Research Video preview below.
