Look at the person sitting next to you at work. Are they happy with what they do and the organisation for which they work? Could they pose an threat to the organisation?

The more we use and rely upon technology in the workplace the more we seem to ignore the people issues. People are behind the cyber scams. People inadvertently leak vital data and information.

Threats come in all shapes and forms and whilst they may have a cyber outcome they may not have begun that way.

This interactive session has been designed to illustrate that threats, including insider threats, do not always come from the most likely places. Some well known events that have occurred as a result of maverick insiders will be used as part of the session in order to demonstrate how you can protect your organisation from the consequences of such threats.
