To minimize the risk of an Insider Threat going undetected, personnel should:

Personnel should report all security infractions and suspicious activity because early detection and intervention are critical in preventing insider threats. Insider threats can often be subtle and evolve over time, making it essential to create a culture of vigilance where every incident, no matter how minor it may seem, is taken seriously. By reporting these infractions, organizations can investigate potential patterns or behaviors that could indicate a larger problem.

Additionally, thorough reporting enables security teams to conduct comprehensive assessments and implement necessary preventive measures, thereby safeguarding the organization’s assets and people. This proactive approach contributes to an overall security posture that discourages malicious actions from insiders. Creating an environment where all personnel feel responsible for security can help ensure that potential threats do not go unnoticed or unaddressed.
