Technical Controls

These are security measures implemented through IT systems, software, and hardware to prevent, detect, and respond to insider threats. These controls may include Identity and Access Management (IAM) to enforce the least privilege by restricting user access and User and Entity Behaviour Analytics (UEBA) to monitor and detect anomalous behaviour. User Activity Monitoring (UAM) tracks user actions, while Data Loss Prevention (DLP) prevents unauthorised data transfer or exfiltration. Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) continuously monitors endpoints for malicious activity and provides real-time threat response. Together, these controls form a comprehensive defence, minimising insider threat risks by limiting access, identifying suspicious behaviour, and safeguarding sensitive information.
