Stronger Security Drives Ransomware Groups to Recruit From Within

Security researchers have detected an increase in ransomware attacks facilitated by malicious insiders. Beyond ransomware, insider threats create broader risks that impose substantial financial costs on organizations.

Why it matters: Security teams need to monitor for insider threats and suspicious behavior by employees and contractors, as these actors enable attackers to bypass external defenses and threaten multiple attack vectors simultaneously.
