Organizations are increasingly aware of the impact of insider cyber threats, but most are more prepared to respond to external cyber threats. One survey in 2015 found that on average, just 3.6% of the total IT budget for the previous year was spent on addressing internal security. Yet, Intel Security’s 2016 Report states that among companies experiencing data breaches over the past few years, insiders were responsible for 43% of data loss, half of which was intentional and malicious. Another recent survey showed that while 74% of organizations feel vulnerable to insider threats, leaders report they have a harder time detecting and preventing an insider attack versus an external cyber attack.
