Mitigating insider threats requires a multi-faceted approach:
- Access control: Implement strict access permissions to ensure that only authorized personnel can access sensitive data. - Data encryption: Use encryption to protect data both in transit and at rest. - Monitoring and auditing: Regularly monitor and audit access logs to detect any unusual activity. - Employee training: Educate staff about the risks and signs of insider threats and encourage a culture of security awareness. - Incident response plans: Develop and regularly update incident response plans to quickly address any insider threat incidents.
