Most Insider Threat Incidents Start as Weak Signals
Organizations often miss early warning patterns because indicators appear isolated, administrative, or low-risk in the moment. This guide helps teams recognize patterns across behavior, access, reporting, travel, foreign contact, and policy avoidance before they become security, legal, or reputational incidents.
Behavioral Indicators
Recognize grievance, secrecy, hostility toward oversight, and policy boundary testing.
Data & Access Indicators
Identify suspicious downloading, abnormal access, unauthorized storage, and sensitive searches.
Foreign Contact Indicators
Spot concerning travel patterns, unreported foreign relationships, and elicitation exposure.
Manager Worksheet
Use a structured response framework for documentation and escalation decisions.
