Questions

A potential insider threat indicator could be unauthorized access to sensitive information. For example, an employee repeatedly accesses files or data that are not relevant to their job duties or clearance level. Other indicators include sudden changes in behavior, such as increased isolation, dissatisfaction with the organization, or signs of financial stress. Unusual work habits, like attempting to bypass security measures, downloading large amounts of data, or trying to share confidential information with unauthorized individuals, can also signal an insider threat. Any of these behaviors could compromise the security of the organization and should be reported.
