text: IS YOUR BIGGEST THREAT ALREADY INSIDE YOUR BUILDING? OUR TOP TIPS FOR COMBATING INSIDER THREATS – Simple Systems
  We've all heard the horror movie trope, "The call is coming from inside the house!". While that may be a tool to build suspense in the movies, it's more accurate than you think for business cybersecurity. The biggest threats to cybersecurity in your business aren't faceless internet hackers. They're the people that are already inside your business. The new Ponemon report on insider threats brings some interesting data points to light as it explores this often-overlooked facet of cybersecurity.
  Training and awareness help your staff spot potential malicious actors and keeps them vigilant to threats like phishing attempts. Don't press pause on training just because everyone's working remotely – remote work increases the likelihood that staffers will get duped by a phishing attack. Mitigate the threat by employing training tools that use multiple forms of information delivery to get through to staffers in the way that they learn and can be used for remote workforce training easily. Plus make sure that the training material is frequently updated, like the COVID-19 threat training kits we recently added to our phishing training solution BullPhish ID.
  Your IT staff need to be able to react immediately to mitigate potential damage by cutting off systems access as soon as a malicious insider threat is uncovered. Remote access management allows IT staff to quickly negate the stolen or compromised credentials prevent information theft that can come back to haunt you from the Dark Web and cut off access to systems that could be infected with ransomware. The one-two punch of secure remote access management enabling you to lock down systems and data anytime, anywhere and multifactor authentication to stops bad actors from getting mileage out of a malignant password provides powerful protection. Passly, our new secure identity and access management solution, combines multiple access safeguards including these into one cost-effective tool. Every company needs to have a plan in place to combat insider threats.
