In this episode, we speak with Dr Lisa Warren, a pioneer of the behavioural threat management field in Australia. Dr Warren is an internationally recognized expert in the evaluation of those who persistently perpetrate aggression, sexual harms and social media harms.

Dr Warren explains why the traditional definition of an insider threat, that being an employee, or former employee, who takes proprietary data for personal gain is perhaps no longer accurate in that it is not broad enough. In this podcast, Dr Warren explains that exploitation can go well beyond the risks to computer data, and she explores the benefits of challenging the traditional definition of insider threat to include the range of behavioural threats employees can pose to an organisation, its reputation and business continuity. Opportunities for detecting insider threats early are presented, as the benefits of creating a physically and psychologically safe workplaces where aggressive and deceptive behaviour are not tolerated.
