Strategies for Identifying and Mitigating Insider Threats

Fraud Risk Management: Strategies for Identifying and Mitigating Insider Threats

In an era where digital operations dominate enterprise processes, insider threats have become one of the most critical risks organizations face. From unintentional data leaks to deliberate fraud by trusted employees or contractors, insider threats can severely damage an enterprise's reputation, financial stability, and compliance standing.

Why Insider Threats Are Hard to Detect

Unlike external cyberattacks, insider threats often come from individuals who already have legitimate access to systems and data. This makes detection complex. Add to that the pressure of regulatory compliance—such as SOX, DORA, HIPAA, and GDPR—and it becomes clear that organizations must adopt a proactive, technology-driven Fraud Risk Management strategy.
