The Insider Threat Problem
Research consistently shows that insider threats account for a significant proportion of security breaches in corporate environments. In Nigeria, where social networks can create complex loyalty conflicts, the insider threat is particularly nuanced.
## Categories of Insider Threat
Insider threats fall into three categories: malicious actors deliberately causing harm, negligent employees creating vulnerabilities, and compromised individuals coerced by external parties.
## Mitigation Strategies
Effective insider threat programs combine human intelligence — building a culture where employees feel safe reporting concerns — with technical controls such as access management and anomaly detection.
