Most Insider Threats Aren’t Malicious — They’re Careless
Employees don’t need to act with intent to cause damage. A misforwarded email, unencrypted USB, or overshared doc can leak just as much data as a rogue agent.
Privileged Users Pose the Greatest Risk
Sysadmins, developers, and finance staff have broad access to sensitive data. One mistake or grudge from them causes outsized impact. Role-based access without monitoring is dangerous.
Contractors and Interns Slip Through Policy Gaps
Temporary workers often bypass the same vetting and training as full-time staff. Yet they handle real workloads. Transient access becomes a persistent blind spot.
A Framework for Smarter Voice AI Decisions
Deploying Voice AI doesn’t have to rely on guesswork.
This guide introduces the BELL Framework — a structured approach used by enterprises to reduce risk, validate logic, optimize latency, and ensure reliable performance across every call flow.
Learn how a lifecycle approach helps teams deploy faster, improve accuracy, and maintain predictable operations at scale.
Post-Termination Access Lingers Far Too Long
Disgruntled ex-employees sometimes retain access to SaaS, email, or cloud tools. Poor deprovisioning gives them the keys even after they walk out the door.
Shadow IT Is a Symptom of Internal Mistrust
When teams don’t feel supported by IT, they find their own tools. This behavior isn’t malicious — it’s frustrated. But it opens new, unmanaged attack surfaces.
Behavioral Monitoring Can Catch Drift Early
User behavior analytics (UBA) can detect when normal becomes risky: large downloads, odd hours, new access patterns. It’s not about spying — it’s about spotting deviation.
