Insider Threats and Employee Deviance: Developing an Updated Typology of Deviant Workplace Behaviors

摘要

Insiders are trusted individuals in an organization, such as current or former employees,contractors, consultants, or vendors (Keeney et al., 2005; Steele and Wargo, 2007). Insiders posea threat to the security of information due to their intimate knowledge of an organization'sinternal operations, processes, data, systems, or other resources (Steele and Wargo, 2007).Because trusted individuals have the power to violate one or more rules in a security policy, aninsider threat occurs either (1) through the violation of a security policy using legitimate access,and/or (2) through violation of an access control policy by obtaining unauthorized access(Bishop, 2005; Bishop and Gates, 2008).
