Insider attacks

Threats originating from within an organization.

Negligent insider causes a data breach

An employee reuses a weak password across multiple cloud services and clicks a phishing link, inadvertently exposing customer data. This is a top cause of data breaches — even though the insider had no criminal intent.

Studies estimate that 1% of employees are responsible for 75% of cloud-related enterprise security risk through password reuse, file sharing, and accidental malware downloads.
