Overview

Successfully build a defence programme against insider threats

This book – the most in-depth guide on the market – is the ideal resource for anyone looking to learn how a security culture based on international best practice can help mitigate the insider threat to your security.

Every type of organisation is vulnerable to insider abuse, errors or malicious attacks. These can impact reputation, operations and profitability, and expose data, harm the organisation, or deliver valuable intellectual property into competitors’ hands.

Insiders can be current or former employees, contractors, or other business partners who have been granted authorised access to networks, systems or data, and all of them can bypass security measures through legitimate means.

Insider Threat – A Guide to Understanding, Detecting, and Defending Against the Enemy from Within looks beyond perimeter protection tools and details how to build a defence programme using security controls from the international standards ISO 27001 and ISO 27002, and NIST SP 800-53.
