In past Annual Data Exposure Reports, Code42, now a Mimecast company, has researched the key drivers of Insider Risk. In the 2023 edition, we wanted to understand the specific challenges related to building and maintaining Insider Risk technologies, training and programs. To explore this, we surveyed 700 respondents – cybersecurity leaders, managers and practitioners – from a range of US companies with 500 or more employees. The responses show there is an urgent need to overcome the challenges associated with managing Insider Risk – an issue that is becoming increasingly complex to solve. Download the report today to see why.
