Insider Threats - Who Can You Trust?

Featured Resource: Addressing the Insider Threat with NetIQ Security and Administration Solutions Insider Threats — Who Can You Trust? Organizations often think that once they hire an employee or a contractor, that person is now a part of a trusted group of people. Although an organization might allow an employee privileged access, why should they trust that person? Most organizations deal with insider threats by defining application roles, restricting access to data, and identifying strict audit rules. Often forgotten are their computer administrators. IT administrators are granted eminent powers over servers, Active Directory, and applications as part of their jobs. Mass media hysterics about external security threats has caused many of us to temporarily forget the most important rule-of-thumb about security - 80% of the threat to any organization comes from inside. Read this paper to identify the key business processes in your organization that must be secured, and you will be highly equipped to build a solution that will contain an insider threat.
