Summary of the InfoSecurity Magazine article:

According to a survey Insider threats cost organizations an average of over $15m annually to remediate last year. The frequency of incidents per company also increased, with 67% of companies experiencing between 21 and more than 40 incidents per year, up from 60% in 2020.

Malicious intent is also a major cause of insider threats, accounting for a quarter (26%) of incidents at an average cost of $648,000 to remediate. Once again, the work-from-home (WFH) mandate has driven this trend, allowing employees more remote access to sensitive data.
