The Enemy Within: Tackling Insider Threats

In this episode of Dot One, we face the insider threat—those sneaky risks from employees, contractors, or partners who turn rogue, clumsy, or hacked from the inside. Unlike outside hackers, insiders have the keys, making them tough to spot and brutal when they strike, from data theft to sabotage. We’ll dig into why it’s a big deal—guarding secrets, hitting GDPR marks, and dodging massive fallout. It’s the hidden danger you can’t ignore.

We’ll map the fight: spotting weird logins or big downloads with UEBA, locking access with least privilege, and training staff to dodge phishing traps. From vengeful insiders to coerced pawns, we’ll tackle the challenges—like privacy clashes or fast-moving risks—with smart monitoring and HR teamwork. With AI prediction and zero-trust vibes coming, tune in to see how to outsmart the threat within and keep your org rock-solid!
