These typically fall into three broad categories:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Unintentional insider threats<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Compromised insider threats<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Malicious insider threats<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>1. Unintentional Insider Threats<\/h3>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">The first of these, <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">unintentional insider threats<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">, relates to situations where an individual has unwittingly endangered their organization because of complacency, negligence, or misapplication of an organization\u2019s security policies and procedures, usually through misunderstanding. In short, these threats are the result of <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">human error<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>2. Compromised Insider Threats<\/h3>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">By contrast, Bright Defense describes <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">compromised threats<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\"> as <\/span><em><span data-color=\"transparent\">\u201c<\/span><span data-color=\"var(--green-10)\">an employee whose account, device, or credentials have been taken over by an attacker through phishing, malware, or social engineering\u2014often without their knowledge.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightdefense.com\/resources\/risks-and-mitigation-of-insider-threats\/#:~:text=3.,know%20they%20have%20been%20hacked.%E2%80%9D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong><span data-color=\"var(--green-10)\">71%<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span data-color=\"var(--green-10)\"> of organizations are most concerned with compromised threats <\/span><span data-color=\"transparent\">because they are so difficult to guard against, often involving large-scale data theft as well as the stealing of intellectual property and trade secrets. This can <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">greatly harm businesses&#8217; competitive advantage<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>3. Malicious Insider Threats<\/h3>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">The most potentially damaging and costly type of insider threat are those involving <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">malicious intent<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">. <\/span><span data-color=\"var(--green-10)\">These deliberate cyber attacks are often motivated by <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"var(--green-10)\">financial gain<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"var(--green-10)\">, <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"var(--green-10)\">revenge<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"var(--green-10)\">, or <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"var(--green-10)\">corporate espionage<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">, and typically <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timecamp.com\/planner\/glossary\/cost-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-color=\"transparent\">cost<\/span><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ibm.com\/insider-threat#:~:text=According%20to%20IBM&#039;s%20Cost%20of%20a%20Data,million%20cost%20of%20the%20average%20data%20breach.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">USD 4.99 million<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span data-color=\"transparent\"> more than the average data breach (USD 4.88 million) according to IBM.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the type of threat concerned, businesses should remember that <span data-color=\"var(--green-10)\">insider threats can involve <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"var(--green-10)\">any trusted individual<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"var(--green-10)\"> with knowledge of or access to an organization&#8217;s assets<\/span>. As such, they should <strong>regularly test<\/strong> their detection measures for effectiveness, remembering that insider threat prevention is best approached as part of overall <strong>enterprise risk management<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">How Do UBA and UEBA Prevent Insider Threats?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">For over a decade, companies have used <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">User Behavior Analytics (UBA)<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\"> and <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) <\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">for effective employee monitoring and insider threat prevention. The first of these, UBA, focuses solely on <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">user behaviour<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">, analyzing patterns of human behavior to <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">detect anomalies<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\"> indicating potential security threats. By contrast, UEBA <\/span>includes <strong>monitoring non-user entities<\/strong> such as applications and company devices.<\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">While UBA and UEBA have their drawbacks, TechTarget identifies <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">three key benefits<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\"> of both\u2014namely:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Maintaining enterprises&#8217; <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">regulatory compliance<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\"> with evolving laws and regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">Mitigating enterprise risk<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\"> by identifying patterns relating to threats and security vulnerabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">Cost savings<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\"> associated with fewer security breaches.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">In terms of mitigating risk, UBA and UEBA help organizations detect threats by analyzing system logs and other data sources for suspicious activity. Specifically, they use <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">machine learning, algorithms<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">, and <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">statistical analysis<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\"> to interpret users&#8217; interactions with devices containing critical data.

data-color=\"transparent\">Protecting <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">sensitive data<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">, including customer

href=\"https:\/\/www.timecamp.com\/time-tracking\/employee-monitoring\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">Employee monitoring software<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span data-color=\"transparent\"> such as TimeCamp is a <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">valuable addition<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\"> to these measures. It not only supports in the detection and<\/span> further investigation<span data-color=\"transparent\"> of suspect behavior, but also offers a <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">level of security and productivity<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\"> that reduces companies&#8217; concerns around employees working from home, without compromising employee privacy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">How Monitoring Employees Helps Mitigate Insider Threats in Remote Work Environments<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">It\u2019s one thing managing insider threats at work, but managing them in remote work environments presents an altogether <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">different challenge<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">. This challenge stems mainly from the <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">lack of visibility into employee activities<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\"> in these environments, along with the increased use of <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">personal devices<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\"> for work purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Adjusting for these differences is achievable with the right remote work management practices and tools, such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timecamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">time tracking<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span data-color=\"transparent\">. F<\/span>or<span data-color=\"transparent\"> example, <\/span><span data-color=\"var(--green-10)\">TimeCamp\u2019s unique <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timecamp.com\/time-tracking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span data-color=\"var(--green-10)\">Proof of Work<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span data-color=\"var(--green-10)\"> feature provides clients and managers with evidence that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timecamp.com\/blog\/10-ways-get-things-done-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-color=\"var(--green-10)\">tasks<\/span><\/a><span data-color=\"var(--green-10)\"> are being performed within <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timecamp.com\/blog\/how-to-keep-track-of-your-work-hours\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-color=\"var(--green-10)\">tracked hours<\/span><\/a><span data-color=\"var(--green-10)\">. <\/span><span data-color=\"transparent\">Not only does this benefit security, but it also helps employees with productivity and client <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timecamp.com\/blog\/the-complete-guide-to-increase-billable-hours-best-practices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-color=\"transparent\">billability<\/span><\/a><span data-color=\"transparent\">. (As evidence, our clients report an average <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">15.82% uplift in productivity<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\"> since using our app, as well as a <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">14.8% billability increase<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">That said, effectively implementing worker monitoring requires <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timecamp.com\/blog\/how-to-introduce-a-time-tracker-to-your-team-and-get-buy-in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">buy-in<\/span><\/strong><\/a><span data-color=\"transparent\">, for which education, training, good communication, and respect for remote employees\u2019 privacy\u2014core elements of our own onboarding process at TimeCamp\u2014are fundamental.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">It&#8217;s also worth avoiding <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">over-monitoring<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">, which can violate employee&#8217;s expectation of privacy, in turn decreasing <\/span>morale, productivity, and trust in employers. It can also create a sense of constant surveillance that drives stress and anxiety, particularly among remote employees.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">What are the Ethical Considerations of Employee Monitoring?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">As we have seen, employee monitoring is an effective means of detecting and mitigating insider threats, especially when combined with other proven methods. But implementing it correctly involves addressing several <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">ethical considerations<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">The first of these relates to communicating clearly to employees how their <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">privacy and<\/span> sensitive personal data<\/strong>\u2014including their personal identifiable information\u2014<span data-color=\"transparent\">are being used. In the case of TimeCamp, there is nothing to be concerned with here, since <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"var(--green-10)\">we never collect sensitive employee information or other sensitive data, nor invade employee privacy<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"var(--green-10)\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">The second consideration is making sure your company has a <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">clear employment monitoring policy in place. <\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">This should transparently cover matters such as internet usage, <\/span>access controls (including privileged access management)<span data-color=\"transparent\">, information storage, and user protocols\u2014plus any other information around anonymization and protection. The policy should also provide <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">clear guidance for remote workers<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\"> around these matters.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">What are the Legal Considerations of Employee Monitoring?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">In addition to the ethical considerations above, <\/span><span data-color=\"var(--green-10)\">ensure your company is observing any <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"var(--green-10)\">relevant laws surrounding information protection<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"var(--green-10)\"> when you implement employee monitoring<\/span><span data-color=\"transparent\">\u2014including national, supranational, and federal laws (such as the <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">GDPR in the EU<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">), or state-specific regulations (such as the <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">California Compliance Privacy Act [CCPA] <\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">in the USA). Employers should also:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Consider the <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">privacy laws<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\"> of their employees&#8217; residences when implementing monitoring, where necessary soliciting <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">legal counsel<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\"> for support with this.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">Minimize <\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">sensitive information collection.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">Gain consent<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\"> where possible before conducting employee monitoring.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Heeding the steps above will not only increase the chances of your workers buying into worker monitoring, but it will also ensure you\u2019re <\/span><strong><span data-color=\"transparent\">maximising your workplace\u2019s productivity<\/span><\/strong><span data-color=\"transparent\"> while staying on the right side of the law.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><section id=\"contact_banner\">\n<div class=\"header\">\n    <span>See how top teams track
