Insider threats represent one of the most complex challenges facing modern organizations. While external attacks often dominate headlines, insider threats pose a more insidious and challenging risk. These threats arise within your organization—from malicious employees, negligent actions, or compromised accounts. Insider incidents often go undetected for extended periods (almost three months) and at an average annual cost of $16.8 M, they are one of the costliest types of breaches to address.

Traditional detection tools rely heavily on static rules or known attack patterns, which are designed to catch predictable external threats. But insider threats are different. They don’t follow predictable paths, and their activity often blends with expected user behavior. The result? Security teams are overwhelmed by false positives, wasting time investigating harmless anomalies while real threats slip through unnoticed.
