This executive paper examines the growing confusion between insider threat and insider risk, and why the distinction matters.
It explores how organisations have increasingly adopted “insider risk” language while continuing to focus primarily on detection, monitoring, and technology-led solutions.
The paper introduces a structured model for understanding insider risk as a dynamic interaction between threat, vulnerability, access, behaviour, and organisational conditions.
