Insider Threats: Misuse and Sabotage

  • Deliberate sabotage or data theft by employees with personal motives. These threats can lead to significant data breaches or system damage.

  • Unintentional mistakes by well-meaning employees, such as poor security practices or accidental data exposure. These incidents can still result in major security breaches.

  • Employees with access to sensitive information may misuse their privileges for personal gain. Monitoring and auditing access are key to preventing such incidents.
