Robert Emery, DrPH, Vice President for Safety/Professor of Occupational Health, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston
July 27 | 12:00 pm – 1:00pm EST
While organizations maintain many layers of controls to prevent outsiders from gaining unauthorized access to cause loss or harm, persons who have been granted legitimate access can become an "insider threat" and, because they are very difficult to detect, cause over $100 billion in losses annually. This presentation will provide attendees with the weapons to tackle security hazards set in motion by those behind the curtain.
Attendee Takeaways:
1. Identify insider threat risks
2. Recognize risk factors
3. Enable some interventions to address the vulnerability
