INSIDER THREAT INCIDENTS REPORT FOR MARCH 2025
PRODUCED MONTHLY BY:
National Insider Threat Special Interest Group (NITSIG)
Insider Threat Defense Group
Insider Threat incidents happen in many cases for 3 main reasons.
1) Failure of employees and key stakeholders (FSO, CSO, CISO, Human Resources, CIO – IT, Network Security, Counterintelligence Investigators, Mental Health / Behavioral Science Professionals, Legal Etc.) to share employee risk and threat information with the Insider Risk Management (IRM) Program.
2) According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners 2024 Fraud Report, the report states that more than half of frauds occurred due to lack of internal controls or an override of existing internal controls.
3) In some cases there is a lacking of understanding by the CEO and key stakeholders on the methodology and security controls required for IRM.
