What Cybercriminals Look For in Corporate Insiders

Cybercriminal markets for insider threats have matured from ad hoc recruitment into organized ecosystems featuring intermediaries, incentive schemes, and profit-sharing. The research examines these structured markets across multiple industries and the mechanisms criminals use to identify and cultivate corporate insiders.
