Inside the threat: understanding and managing insider risk

Your biggest security risk may already have access to your network.

Insider risk is not always caused by a malicious actor, but can come from everyday actions like sharing files, exporting reports, emailing attachments and entering sensitive data into unsanctioned AI tools. For IT and Security Managers, the key challenge is gaining visibility into how sensitive data moves once trusted users already have access.

Download the infographic to explore why insider risk is difficult to detect, where traditional Data Loss Prevention programs can fall short and how a risk-based approach can help your team identify, prioritise and respond to risky data movement before it escalates.

What you’ll learn in the infographic

• See what traditional tools can miss: Learn why insider risk can be difficult to identify when users are working with legitimate access, approved tools and normal business workflows.
• Reduce blind spots created by Shadow AI: Understand how sensitive data can leave your organisation’s control when employees use unsanctioned generative AI platforms to move faster.
• Move from reactive alerts to proactive visibility: Explore how risk-based monitoring helps security teams understand what data is moving, where it is going and what the context says about risk
• Respond with the right level of control: Discover how organisations can allow low-risk activity, prompt users when behaviour is elevated and block high-risk data movement when needed.
• Build a stronger roadmap for cyber resilience: Learn how an insider risk assessment can help benchmark current exposure, identify gaps and prioritise next steps.

Get clarity before you build your response

Understanding your current exposure is the first step. The infographic outlines how organisations can shift from static controls to a more continuous, risk-based approach that aligns security action to the severity of the behaviour. It also explains how an insider risk assessment can help establish a baseline, reveal visibility gaps and support a practical roadmap for ongoing cyber resilience.
