CEO Gordon Lawson shares examples of how businesses both can prepare for an attack or discover that some data has already been exfiltrated in his latest Forbes article.

For all the talk about nation-state attacks and malicious malware infections, any CISO will tell you one of the biggest issues they face on a daily basis is insider threats — particularly large organizations where sensitive data is plentiful and easy to take. Scott Greaux talks with Hillarie McClure from Cybercrime Magazine about how enterprise security architects go from a broad, overriding philosophy to a workable, effective protection against insider and other threats.
