Implementing an Effective Insider Threat Program

Government agencies need more than security tools and solutions to defend against today's constantly evolving cyber threat landscape. A cybersecurity culture must exist within all levels of an organization - starting at the top with C-level executives and flowing all the way down to the individual employee. While many agencies focus on preventing inbound attacks from occurring, some are behind on tracking what type of information is leaving the agency and how. To successfully conduct assigned missions and serve the American public, the government must have strong security controls for both inbound and outbound data to enhance an agency's cybersecurity posture.
