Insider threats have become a growing concern for organizations across industries. These threats come from individuals within an organization who have authorized access to sensitive data and systems, but misuse it for personal gain or to cause harm. To combat this issue, many organizations are turning to insider threat software, which helps identify, detect, and mitigate insider threats before they cause significant damage.

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is becoming increasingly essential for organizations of all sizes to protect their data. Any organization that collects, generates, or stores sensitive information is responsible for keeping that information safe. This responsibility can be moral, legal, or profit-based.

However, these videos reflect more than just a viral internet trend.
