Talking Insider Threat Detection & Response with Kirk Cerny, Senior Director of Insider Threat - CYDERES
Insider threats pose a complex challenge for most organizations.
Information security and IT departments are constrained by conventional network detection systems that don’t account for the distinctly human motivations behind such threats. Meanwhile, HR, legal and physical security teams lack the means to derive useful intelligence from cyber indicators. The result is that risky insiders often go undetected until after an adverse event occurs. That’s why we created our CYDERES Insider Threat Detection & Response solution, or ITDR, to address these common challenges.
In order to illuminate more about this game-changing solution, we talked to Kirk Cerny, Senior Director of Insider Threat at CYDERES to get the lowdown on ITDR, and a broader look at insider threats.
