Insider threats have become persistent and sophisticated, but most organizations remain unprepared. Remote work and AI-driven tools have shifted the challenge from spotting isolated actions to understanding human intent and context before damage occurs. Yet many insider threat programs remain fragmented, reactive, and overly focused on technical indicators, missing key early-warning signs. A 2025 Cybersecurity Insiders survey of 635 CISOs reveals a gap between recognizing these risks and having the tools and processes to address them, underscoring the need for predictive, whole-person intelligence over reactive monitoring.
Key findings indicate that:
- insider threats have outpaced defenses
- behavioral signals are underutilized
- predictive analytics are lacking
- internal obstacles block progress
- AI tools amplify insider risks
