Four Insider Threats Security Officers Should Know
Not every insider threat looks the same.
By Frank Costa, President, Nexgen Protection Services
Security officers should understand that threats can come from intentional actions, mistakes, outside influence, or collaboration.
Four common types of insider threats include:
1️⃣ Malicious Insider — deliberately misuses access or information.
2️⃣ Careless Insider — creates risk through negligence or poor security practices.
3️⃣ Compromised Insider — is influenced, coerced, or manipulated by an outside party.
4️⃣ Collaborating Insider — knowingly assists others in bypassing security controls.
The warning signs aren’t always obvious. They may involve greed, carelessness, pressure, manipulation, or deliberate cooperation.
Awareness, observation, reporting, and strong security procedures can help organizations identify risks before they become incidents.

Fraud Prevention Starts With Awareness
By Frank Costa, President, Nexgen Protection Services
Fraud can impact more than a company’s bottom line—it can affect employees, customers, operations, and trust.
Protection and security professionals play an important role in prevention. By staying alert to unusual behavior, policy violations, access anomalies, and other warning signs, security officers can help identify potential risks before they escalate.
The key is awareness, observation, and timely reporting. Security teams don’t have to investigate every suspicious activity themselves; recognizing the signs and communicating concerns through established procedures can make a meaningful difference.
Strong fraud prevention is a shared responsibility—and security professionals are an important part of that first line of defense.
