Braden Perry Discusses Rouge Insiders and Cybersecurity with Digital Guardian

Kennyhertz Perry partner Braden Perry was one of several data security and cybersecurity attorneys asked to compare the risks of insider threats vs. outsider threats with Digital Guardian, a leading platform for digital protection. Perry, a member of the firm’s Regulatory & Compliance Practice Group, discussed how insiders have are more dangerous to an entity due to their access to data. “There’s not much, besides compartmentalization and monitoring, that you can do if an insider wants to reach data,” Perry said.

Preparation and prospective mitigation are keys to limiting opportunities: ” While no single strategy fits all, practicing basic cyber hygiene would address or mitigate a vast majority of security breaches. Being prepared if an intrusion occurs is also critical and having a communications method for response, actively monitoring centralized host and networks, and including enhanced monitoring to detect known security events is a must. With a well-oiled cyber policy, you can mitigate outsiders significantly,” he said.
