1.5 CPE Companies have enough to worry about from outsiders when it comes to cybersecurity. From clever hackers infiltrating their networks to criminal gangs stealing their data and government surveillance of their systems, security teams have to be on their toes at all times. But the insider threat can be just as dangerous and sometimes harder to detect.
According to the 2015 Insider Threat Spotlight Report, 62 percent of security professionals are seeing a rise in insider attacks. While many of these are malicious attacks, they can also be unintentional breaches. The consequences, no matter the motivation, can be equally devastating.
This course discusses the most current and dangerous insider cybersecurity threats and outlines measures for preventing and investigating insider data theft, industrial espionage, cyber-sabotage, identity theft and more.
The course covers:
- Types of insider threats and most common perpetrators
- Red flags of internal data theft, cyber-sabotage, identity theft and espionage to watch for
- Latest best practices in information security
- Insider data theft investigation essentials
Learning Objectives
- Explore the common and not-so-common insider threats to your organization’s information security
- Identify the most common insider cyber-perpetrators
- Identify the red flags of potential or actual insider cyber-crime
- Explore how to detect and initiate an investigation of suspected insider cyber-crime

The course provided a good overview of the topic. I found it lacking in discussing some of the applications that might be used to help mitigate the threat such as Privileged Access Management System, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), and specific tools now available to detect suspicious insider activity.

This course was informative and the exam followed the talking points very closely. I appreciated that the exam covered the information provided in the course rather than drawing on outside points or references. I enjoyed the instructor drawing on his own experiences/news stories.

This is a horrible speaker. I looked at his biography and noted that his website it inactive. You may want an instructor who is more current than this instructor. I recommend someone else who is a better speaker and who can update this course and add current case studies.

Great course! What surprised me was that apart from hackers, the next highest percentage of cyber fraud was committed by employees (i.e., known and unknown). All employees can benefit from this course given that pressure can come at any time.

The discussions on who the likely perpetrators of cyber crime and on red flags of insider information attacks added additional insight to the slides.

important topic to consider since usually companies concentrate on outside threats, whhen an insider is left alone. Good presentation on the topic.

Slides are brief and simple to read, the presenter does talk straight to the point and make it easier to absorb.
