We all know that many different cyber threats are targeting online businesses every day. Moreover, it's becoming quite challenging for business owners to keep their workplaces safe. As a result, today's online companies are focusing on their organization's cybersecurity. But, these security systems aren't protecting them from inside threats.
When a current or ex-member of your organization tries to steal some crucial data or misuses the network, then it's known as 'Insider Threats'. Most importantly, in 2021, most data breaches are either made by ex-employees or by business partners. Also, whether your business is a part of the healthcare industry or finance industry, all sectors have suffered equally so far.
Despite having successful cyber threat hunting programs, many big industries have suffered from these Insider Threats. Let's read about a few of them:
Insider Threats at a rise in UAE
Currently, UAE's IT industry is progressing rapidly, but the cases of 'Insider Threats' are also rising. Many businesses here are hiring their new employees through social media platforms such as Microsoft Teams, LinkedIn, etc. However, the dark web is also selling some 'trusted insiders', which might end up becoming your business's employees.
Moreover, as per various studies and reports, it's expected that 10% of UAE's employees are an internal threat. Thus, cases such as using fake IDs are becoming more common in the Middle East and there are no ways for any business to recover their losses.
