"Add more tools and more people" - the common response to cyber threats we are hearing.

But did you try looking inside? Your existing people may be the strongest protection you haven’t tapped into yet.

In a recent chat with a potential customer, we uncovered a trend that seems to be popping up everywhere:
👉 The insider impact on cyber risk is bigger than most organisations realise.

Whether intentional or accidental, insider actions now make up a significant portion of security incidents. Employees clicking unsafe links, accessing unusual systems, downloading sensitive files, or exhibiting behavior outside their normal routines can create vulnerabilities that traditional perimeter tools don’t catch.

More teams are now using tools that simply watch how people work, the sites they visit, the systems they access, and the files they move.

These data points contribute to a risk scorecard, helping security identify anomalies or potential threats before they escalate.

What’s interesting is that the value goes far beyond spotting intentional misuse; it actually reveals how well your teams understand their roles, where skills are missing, and where people may need more support.

𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀:
• phishing alerts → need for awareness training
• incorrect system use → digital skill gaps
• repeated policy issues → unclear roles or expectations
• sensitive data leaks or transfers → need for stronger data-handling skills and clearer guidelines

By interpreting these patterns, security data becomes a guide for targeted upskilling and role alignment, not just a warning system.

Your team’s behaviour might be the most overlooked security asset you have.
