Cracking the Case of the Insider Threat

Adam will walk you through a criminal case that he investigated, an Insider threat that resulted in the take over of the CEO's email. How was this achieved and what was the motivation behind this action? Digging deeper Adam will look into a survey conducted by CyberSmart of over one thousand SME senior leaders and decision-makers across the UK, discussing what this reveals and what simple strategies can be employed for building a strong insider threat prevention program.
