Insider Attacks with Katie Paxton-Fear

Sources and Sinks

The cybersecurity field has traditionally focused on defending against external threats. But over the past few years, we have really seen an increasing awareness of the threat posed by people inside the organization. We call these threats, “insider threats”. Insider threats are security threats caused by disgruntled employees who intend to harm the organization or negligent employees who put the security of the organization at risk by accident.

In this episode of Sources and Sinks, Vickie Li talks to Katie Praxton-Fear a cybersecurity researcher and lecturer, on how we can mitigate the risks of insider threats.
