About the National Insider Risk Symposium
Formerly the Counter-Insider Threat Symposium
The Only Whole of Community Insider Risk Event
The 10th Annual National Insider Risk Symposium will bring together leaders and experts across the private sector and federal government to discuss the current insider risk environment, as well as the technologies and policies necessary to disrupt and dismantle those threats and safeguard sensitive information.
As organizations of all sizes continue to face data breaches and unauthorized disclosures because of insider threats, it has become increasingly important to ensure sufficient investments are being made in advanced counter insider threat programs. Organizations must look at behavioral, financial, and cultural indicators in addition to implementing adequate data security measures. Attendees will hear from leaders, experts and partners from across the public and private sectors about the need for the development and implementation of a robust counter insider threat strategy across the public and private sectors.

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND
In 2023, the average cost of insider threat incidents was over $16 million. This represents an 80% increase since 2016, with American companies bearing the greatest increase in cost. According to an IT security study conducted by Imperva in 2021, “58% of incidents that negatively impact sensitive data are caused by insider threats”. Of these incidents, 61% can be attributed at least partly to abuse or malicious intent, rather than innocent human error.
As organizations of all sizes continue to face data breaches and unauthorized disclosures because of insider threats, it is increasingly important to ensure sufficient investment in advanced counter-insider threat programs. Organizations must look at behavioral, financial, and cultural indicators in addition to implementing adequate data security measures. Attendees will hear from leaders, experts and partners from across the public and private sectors about the need for the development and implementation of a robust counter insider risk strategy across the public and private sectors.
DSI’s team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Symposium’s content and focus areas. We will assemble the most respected minds in insider risk management from leaders across Government, the Commercial sector, and Academia. Our non-partisan approach allows us bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers.
