It emphasizes that mitigating insider threats requires more than just technology; it demands partnerships across HR, Legal, and business units.

Key takeaways include embedding InfoSec into business operations, automating offboarding, monitoring aberrant behavior, and building a culture of accountability to secure intellectual property.
