Insider threats can include activities like stealing proprietary information, leaking sensitive data, or mishandling IP. Ensuring that employees are aware of the signs of potential insider threats and how to report suspicious activity is critical to protecting intellectual property. Effective insider threat detection involves monitoring for unusual behavior or actions that could indicate misuse of access to intellectual property, such as unauthorized copying, sharing, or downloading of sensitive data.

Insider threat detection is the most relevant concept to protect intellectual property. It involves identifying and mitigating risks posed by employees, contractors, or other insiders who may have access to sensitive information and could potentially misuse it. By educating employees about insider threat detection, the organization can raise awareness and encourage them to report suspicious activity.

A. Insider threat detection. Insider threat detection focuses on identifying and mitigating risks posed by individuals within the organization who may intentionally or unintentionally compromise the organization's sensitive assets, such as intellectual property. Since intellectual property is a key asset, employees (whether disgruntled, negligent, or malicious) can be a significant threat to its security. Training employees to recognize warning signs of insider threats, along with appropriate actions to take if they suspect suspicious behavior, is critical for protecting intellectual property.
