In this video for Help Net Security, Chris Waynforth, AVP Northern Europe at Imperva, talks about insider threats to organizations.

Despite increased investment in cybersecurity, organizations are focusing more on protecting themselves from external threats than paying attention to the risks that might be lurking within their own network.
