60% of security breaches are internal: how to detect collusion
Internal threats are the hardest to detect. HRMS identifies collusion patterns and protects the organization from within.
When we think about cybersecurity, we picture external hackers attacking servers. But the statistics tell a different story: more than 60% of data breaches involve people within the organization.
Types of internal threats
- Negligence: employees who share passwords, use insecure networks, or fall for phishing
- Privilege abuse: administrators accessing data outside their scope
- Collusion: two or more people collaborating to circumvent security controls
- Infiltration: external actors who compromise employee credentials
The challenge of collusion
Collusion is especially dangerous because traditional controls are designed to detect individual anomalous behaviors, not coordinated ones. Two people acting within their normal permissions can, together, create a breach that no conventional system would detect.
Combined with 3FA authentication and an immutable ledger that records every operation, HRMS creates an environment where internal threats are detected, documented, and neutralized proactively.
