Cyber Insider
Most insider acts involve IT exploitation which is termed ‘Cyber Insider’.
CPNI defines an insider as a person who exploits, or has the intention to exploit, their legitimate access to an organisation’s assets for unauthorised purposes. These days, most insider acts involve IT exploitation termed “Cyber Insider”. CPNI has been engaging with industry and academia through a broad range of research initiatives that aim to improve IT monitoring capabilities to identify insider precursors and behaviour; raising awareness in employer and employee communities about insider threats; establish methods for designing IT and policies to deter staff from committing insider acts; designing IT and work practices to block insider acts.
