Listen Later

This podcast sheds light on the often underestimated risk of insider threats within organizations. It illustrates how factors like early disengagement, frustration, or personal crises (e.g., financial troubles or addiction) can quietly evolve into significant security risks. Even formerly loyal employees can become unnoticed risk factors when personal circumstances change. Technical solutions alone are not the primary focus here; rather, understanding human dynamics and fostering a culture of attentive leadership are crucial.
