The Devil Inside
Insider Threats on the rise
By Mary Roark, VP of Marketing, Cyberhaven
With growing economic uncertainty all indicators point to a sharp increase in insider threats across all
industries. There has been mounting pressure on security and IT teams who are overwhelmed with alerts
and lack the appropriate tools to combat insider threats. The situation has worsened with the COVID
crisis requiring more employees to work from home, many from unsecured devices, as organizations and
their employees adapt to the new normal. The economic uncertainty adds fuel to the fire.
58% of organizations consider themselves only somewhat effective or worse at combating insider threats.
The 2020 Insider Threat Report by Cyberhaven and Cybersecurity Insiders reveals the latest trends and
challenges facing organizations in this new environment and how IT and security professionals are
tackling insiders. Only 12% thought their organizations were extremely effective at monitoring, detecting
and responding to insider threats.
