Insider threats can be a huge concern for organizations, and this report is certainly eye-opening. It's interesting to see that over half of insider attacks rely on privilege escalation #exploits, which allow an attacker to gain access to elevated privileges or data that they shouldn't have. This can happen when an employee's access is not properly restricted or when an attacker finds a vulnerability in the system that allows them to escalate their privileges. The report also highlights the importance of proper monitoring and #security training for employees, to prevent inadvertent misuse of offensive tools or downloading of malicious software.
