Trusted employees and contractors cause many of the most damaging security breaches, from collusion with syndicates to sabotage and data theft. This course helps security and risk teams build a structured insider threat programme that spots warning signs early while respecting employee rights and privacy law. Participants learn to combine behavioural indicators, access controls and reporting channels into a fair and defensible approach suited to African workplaces.
