The Backup Wrap-Up

Insider Threats and the Power of Least Privilege Access


Listen Later

Insider threats represent one of the most dangerous cybersecurity risks facing organizations today - and they're way more common than you think. In this episode of The Backup Wrap-up, we explore the three main types of insider threats: compromised employees who get extorted or have their credentials stolen, disgruntled workers who want revenge after getting fired, and outside attackers who infiltrate your company to become malicious insiders. We break down real-world scenarios and discuss how to protect against them using least privilege principles, monitoring systems, and immutable backups. You'll learn why 31% of insider threat incidents could have been prevented if someone had spoken up, and why immutable backups are your last line of defense when an insider goes rogue. This is a must-listen for anyone responsible for data protection and cybersecurity.
