Insider threats don’t always look like a “hacker.” Sometimes it’s a mistake, sometimes it’s a compromised account, and sometimes it’s someone with access doing the wrong thing. The best protection is a few strong basics done consistently:
Limit access with least-privilege permissions, require MFA and strong credential practices, train your team to spot social engineering, and monitor for unusual activity (odd logins, unexpected downloads, permission changes). Also, make offboarding airtight so access is removed immediately when roles change or someone leaves.
