Today, more companies than ever before are seeking insider threat detection and prevention processes and tools. Research from leading analysts at Forrester revealed that insiders accounted for 39% of data breaches through accidental and malicious misuse of data.
Key takeaways from this whitepaper include:

- Malicious insiders often evade security controls because elevated privileges to systems are not managed, not revoked, or missed by internal detection methods.
- Threat intelligence can detect early indications of insider threats, as well as breaches resulting from their actions.
