Insider threats refer to security risks or breaches that originate from within an organization, typically caused by employees, contractors, or trusted individuals who have authorized access to company resources. Insider threats can be intentional or unintentional, ranging from malicious activities such as data theft, sabotage, or espionage, to accidental actions that inadvertently compromise security. Insider threats pose significant challenges for organizations as they involve individuals who already have legitimate access and may have a level of trust, making them harder to detect and mitigate.
