Insider threats in financial institutions

1Introduction

Insider threats come from staff, contractors or partners, maliciously or by mistake.

Prevention: least privilege, segregation of duties, periodic access review and prompt deprovisioning.

Detection: full logging, UEBA for anomalies and DLP.

3Conclusion

Culture matters: training, safe reporting channels and fair handling of violations.
