About This Webinar
Trusted insiders cause many unwanted cybersecurity incidents affecting businesses, including data breaches—the majority are attributed to carelessness or disgruntled employees, aggrieved business partners, and third-party software providers. Being aware of the risks and instituting proactive measures into business processes is an effective way to identify red flags before they cause operational disruption and unnecessary expenditure of financial resources.
