Despite an increase in spending and investment in deterrence tactics and detection tools, insider threats continue to cause harm to all types of organizations.

“Ask any cybersecurity specialist to name the biggest security threat to an organization and they’ll tell you it’s people,” said Haystax CEO Bryan Ware. Yet despite increased funding on insider threat programs, he added, the problem shows no signs of abating.
