Matthew Bunn and Scott D. Sagan. This research paper contends that insider threats may be the most serious challenge that nuclear security systems face today. Using examples of past security failures to support that contention, it presents 10 cautionary lessons: Don't assume that serious insider problems are NIMO (not in my organization); don't assume that background checks will solve the insider problem; don't assume that red flags will be read properly; don't assume that insider conspiracies are impossible; don't rely on single protection measures; don't assume that organizational culture and employee dis-gruntlement don't matter; don't forget that insiders may know about security measures and how to work around them; don't assume that security rules are followed; don't assume that only consciously malicious insider actions matter; and don't focus only on prevention and miss opportunities for mitigation.
