    CPE: 1.5

    Level: Overview

    Recommended Prerequisites: None

    Field of Study: Specialized Knowledge

    Most organizations focus their cyber prevention and detection efforts on external threats such as hackers and malware. This is understandable since such incidents are the most common and the most publicized, but they are not actually the most expensive or dangerous to an organization.


    This session will use actual data breach losses and case studies to explore how rogue employees have quietly become a material risk to organizations. This will include overviews of how insider threats operate, how you can prevent and identify such activity, and how underground markets are used to sell the stolen goods. This session will include real-world examples of how control failures lead to data breaches that should have been prevented. Finally, you will review the costs of cyberattacks to an organization and considerations when quantifying cyberattacks under an insurance policy.

    You Will Learn How To:

    • Compare statistical analysis of the prevalence and damages from rogue employees performing data theft
    • Identify the most common techniques of malicious insiders and how to detect them
    • Recall how the perpetrators use the underground market and cryptocurrencies to profit anonymously
    • Recognize the cost of cyberattacks to an organization
    • Consider how to quantify cyberattacks under and insurance policy
