While organizations have long prioritized external cybersecurity risks, many have not paid enough attention to the risks posed by trusted insiders in their organizations. This is a mistake. Insiders often already have access to sensitive data, and the risks, whether malicious or inadvertent, can potentially cause greater damage than external cybersecurity risks.<\/p>\n

Two years ago, after a conversation with our Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), Bret Arsenault, we embarked upon an incredible journey developing Insider Risk Management<\/a> in Microsoft 365, which organizations could use to identify and manage insider risks.<\/p>\n

In recognition of these investments, I\u2019m excited to announce that Gartner has listed Microsoft as a Representative Vendor in the 2020 Market Guide for Insider Risk Management Solutions<\/a>. To us, this recognition reinforces our leadership in delivering an innovative solution that allows organizations to quickly identify and collaboratively manage insider risks while maintaining employee privacy.<\/p>\n

According to Gartner, \u201csecurity and risk management leaders need an insider threat mitigation program that is composed of people, processes and technology.\u201d<\/p>\n
