You're likely already using
cybersecurity solutions to guard against external threats — but have you considered the risks that could come from within your own organization?
Here are some common workplace challenges that small and medium-sized businesses may face due to employee
actions:- Unauthorized gathering and theft of corporate information
- Stealing customer databases
- Accounting fraud and personal enrichment
- Non-productive activities (video games, social networks, wasting time online)
According to the Ponemon Institute’s 2025 Insider Threat Report, 59% of organizations admit that they cannot distinguish between malicious and negligent insider activity in their security alerts. Why this
matters:- Most insider incidents start with non-malicious actions — like misdirected emails, personal file uploads, or data sharing through unauthorized tools.
- Without clear visibility into user behavior and intent, security teams waste time chasing false positives while true threats go unnoticed.
- Effective employee tracking tools combine behavioral analytics, contextual alerting, and user activity correlation — helping teams understand why an event happened, not just what happened.
