What is the main focus of the Insider Threat team's security measures?

The primary focus of the Insider Threat team's security measures is on protecting organizational assets. This involves safeguarding sensitive information, intellectual property, and resources from potential threats that may arise from within the organization, whether intentional or unintentional. Insider threats can include actions taken by disgruntled employees, careless handling of information, or even aiding external attackers. By concentrating on this aspect, the Insider Threat team helps ensure that the organization's critical resources remain secure and operational continuity is maintained.

While preventing cyber attacks is an important component of overall security, it is more commonly associated with external threats rather than specific insider threats. Enhancing employee productivity and facilitating team collaboration, while valuable goals in a workplace, do not directly address the core mission of mitigating risks posed by insiders who may jeopardize the organization’s security. The focus of the Insider Threat team remains squarely on asset protection to preempt and manage risks effectively.
