Abstract

Insider threat professionals across Western governments, industry, and academia face a reckoning. As near-peer adversaries continue to target wide swathes of American innovation, industry, and government, a generation of tech-savvy millennials have joined the workforce with the ability to exfiltrate unprecedented amounts of data with a few swipes of the finger. This generation no longer solely betray a company or country for a political cause or because they were indoctrinated with foreign ideology. Oftentimes, motives are as frivolous as ego-boosting Internet upvotes, a contributing factor in the recent Teixeira leaks. Consider that for many of us; an insider threat incident could mean loss of human life, businesses destroyed, or ultimately, in the case of Western democracies, forfeiture of technological or military dominance to autocratic adversaries. These are existential-scale problems, and they require innovative solutions from bold practitioners.
