From reactive to proactive: How behavioral psychology is transforming enterprise security

IBM recently reported a 71% year-over-year increase in attacks using valid credentials. This continued use of stolen credentials is also evident through ongoing public incidents like the string of attacks targeting Snowflake's customers that resulted in breaches at AT&T and Advanced Auto Parts. Lynsey Wolf, Team Lead and Insider Threat Analyst at DTEX Systems believes that users' psychological and behavioral traits are being overlooked when it comes to defending against credential misuse. In this episode, we discuss how best to mitigate such threats using a proactive approach to insider risk management by focusing on user behavior and indicators rather than just incident response.
