External attackers get most of the attention in security planning, and understandably so. But a meaningful share of incidents trace back to someone already inside the organisation, not because they meant harm, but because a mistake, a shortcut, or a moment of pressure opened a door.
That distinction matters for how you respond to it. A culture built purely on surveillance and suspicion tends to push mistakes underground, where they don't get reported until they've become bigger problems. A culture that treats insider risk as something the whole team manages together, normalising reporting, not punishing honesty, catches issues far earlier.
Managing insider risk well means balancing real vigilance with real trust. Neither one on its own gets you there.
