Insider Threat Detection & Privilege Misuse

Course Summary

When we think of cybersecurity threats, we often picture outside hackers trying to break through our digital walls. But sometimes, the threat comes from within – whether it’s intentional or accidental.

Today, we’re focusing on insider threats and the misuse of privileged access. These aren’t always the actions of a malicious actor. Sometimes, it’s a trusted colleague making a careless mistake or someone unintentionally breaking policy.

In this module, you’ll learn what insider threats look like, how privilege misuse happens, and how you can help protect your organization by recognizing the warning signs and taking action.
