7th Annual Counter Insider Threat Symposium

Senior-level representatives from the US Government, Industry, and Academics will gather at the 7th Annual Counter Insider Threat Symposium (Formerly Insider Threat Symposium) to discuss the strategies, technologies, and policies required to detect, deter, prevent, and defend against insider threats in all their forms.

The strategies, practices, and technologies necessary for recognizing, preventing, and safeguarding against insider dangers will be the main topic of this symposium. The US government and corporate sector have made accelerating the adoption of efficient insider threat programs and solutions a top goal. Insider attacks have become more frequent and expensive over time, according to the Ponemon Institute’s 2022 Cost of Insider Threats Global Report.

The report found that InT incidents increased by 44 percent in 2022, that it now takes an average of 85 days to contain an InT, that negligent insiders were responsible for 56 percent of all InT incidents, costing $484,931 on average, and that malicious insiders were responsible for 26 percent of InT incidents, costing $648,062 on average.

Speakers from the DoD, DHS, IC, federal agencies, business, and academia will be present at this year’s conference to discuss current tactics and initiatives created to mitigate today’s dangers and consider how to prevent problems in the future.
