Why You Should Attend This Symposium:

As government agencies continue to face data breaches and unauthorized disclosures as a result of insider threats, it has become increasingly important to ensure sufficient investments are being made in advanced counter insider threat programs. Organizations must look at behavioral, financial, and cultural indicators in addition to implementing adequate data security measures.

Insider threats pose a complex and dynamic risk affecting both the public and private domains. In an increasingly active threat landscape, it is necessary that stakeholders and federal agencies are implementing and collaborating on the most effective practices in mitigating insider threats by accounting for new and increased stressors resulting from the decentralization of the workforce, strengthening cybersecurity and data infrastructure, and understanding the increased risk and reality of economic espionage. Attendees will hear from leaders across the federal government, IC, and industry about the need for the development and implementation of a robust counter insider threat strategy across the public and private sectors.

Additionally, DSI will convene several panels of experts across the insider threat management enterprise to discuss the challenges currently being faced in the financial services sector as well as to share their perspectives on the importance of global partnerships in fighting back against insider threats.
