Jim Rutt, CISO at The Dana Foundation, a private philanthropic organization in New York City that is dedicated to advancing neuroscience that benefits society, told Cybercrime Magazine that in his 25-years of experience as a security leader, the vast majority of cyber incidents have been from the inside, and they’re not on purpose, people do things by accident.
Rutt joined our host Scott Scober and Aviv Nahum, CEO at Above Security, an AI-native managed insider-threat platform for proactive risk management, for an insightful discussion about the insider threat.
“Modern insider risk encompasses accidental data leakage, theft, sabotage, and the side effects of shadow AI, overpermissioned people, and misbehaving AI agents,” according to a blog post by Phil Venables, Partner at Ballistic Ventures, and former CISO, Google Cloud. “These risks evolve quickly and often in ways that traditional security models were never designed to address.”
To get the inside scoop on the insider threat and how to combat it, tune into Rutt, Schober and Nahum.
