FAQ

Insider threats pose a significant danger to sensitive government data, infrastructure, and national security. Insiders can engage in state espionage to provide intelligence for their native states. Malicious actors can also steal classified information and even disrupt critical systems. Effective insider risk management helps mitigate these risks for local and federal governments by identifying and responding to potential insider threats.

State espionage, also known as foreign espionage, involves other governments gathering intelligence about your nation’s activities, intentions, or capabilities. State espionage often focuses on classified information, including military secrets, foreign policy initiatives, and economic intelligence. Personal data of citizens, intellectual property, and research findings are also valuable targets for foreign spies.

The core components of a cybersecurity program for a government institution include robust risk assessment methodologies and data protection policies. Another key measure for a cybersecurity program is implementing government cybersecurity software for access management, threat detection and response, and insider risk management. Additionally, employee awareness programs play a vital role in fostering a cybersecurity culture and mitigating insider threats.

Popular cybersecurity solutions for government entities to fight insider threats include:
