It's the kind of stomach-dropping moment that every IT manager dreads. The network is attacked, and no matter how many safety blocks have been put in place or tough digital barriers erected, data gets corrupted or stolen right in front of IT's horrified stare.

Internal threats aren't new for companies. Ever since the first employee had atcess to the first supplies cabinet, pilfering has been an issue. As computers got introduced, the capacity for theft and damage has increased. What many IT departments may not realize, however, is that the problem is much worse than they might think.
