How to Mitigate the Insider Threat

How to Mitigate the Insider Threat

More and more IT pros are getting wise to the true nature of the insider threat. While the phrase generally conjures up images of a disgruntled admin actively sabotaging systems or stealing data to sell to competitors, they understand that the insider threat is much broader than that.

Most organizations have hundreds — if not thousands — of accounts with varying levels of privilege. Those users can misuse their permissions and do a lot of damage, even if they don’t have the same power as admins. Moreover, admins and users alike can make honest or careless mistakes that can result in a breach or downtime. And, of course, hackers can get control of legitimate user or admin credentials for your environment, transforming themselves from outside attackers into insider threats.

In this e-book, we’ll explore why current approaches aren’t working and then get into best practices that make a real difference, including:

  • Understanding and controlling privilege across the IT environment
  • Controlling your Group Policy objects (GPOs)
  • Keeping admins in their lanes
