CDSE, the National Insider Threat Task Force, the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Intelligence), the Department of Homeland Security, and the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency are teaming up with the Insider Threat practitioner community to designate September 2019 as “National Insider Threat Awareness Month.”

Insider incidents impact public and private organizations causing damage to national security, loss of life, the loss or compromise of classified information, and billions of dollars annually in lost revenue related to trade secret theft, fraud, sabotage, damage to an organization’s reputation, acts of workplace violence, and more.

Most insider threats display concerning behaviors or risk indicators prior to engaging in negative events. Insider Threat programs are designed to manage risks associated with malicious or unwitting insiders while protecting privacy and civil liberties.

Reporting concerning behaviors and risk indicators allows insider threat programs to take proactive measures that can lead to positive outcomes for individuals and mitigate risk for organizations.
