NEW YORK, July 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- GCN is a government technology news website that delivers technology assessments to support Public Sector IT managers. According to a new GCN report, insider threats rank among the most challenging risks governments face. Trusted insiders under financial pressure, holding a grievance, or motivated by other factors, can intentionally damage an agency. The results range from information leakage and national security breaches to workplace violence and even reputational damage. Insiders' unintentional actions can be equally damaging. Clearly, a robust insider threat program that protects government resources, employees, and contractors can deliver significant value and reduce associated risks.
