MONITORING Insider threat detection not part of security culture Do you think that the threat from insiders is growing or diminishing? Is insider-threat detection an important part of your organisation’s culture? Please describe the extent to which you can predict insider threats before they conduct attacks. Almost half of the respondents felt that the threat from insiders was growing. 76% of managers said that they were only able to predict an insider attack with difficulty or not at all. A strong majority say that insider threat detection was not part of the culture. This suggests that there may be cultural challenges in changing both attitudes and behaviour on the topic. Early findings from ‘Cyber Insider’ Web-based survey N = 48 organisations
