You monitor employees. You trust contractors. That’s the problem. Contractors have full system access, months to plan their exit, and minimal safeguards in place to stop them. They have the same access to your customer databases, pricing models, and intellectual property as your permanent staff. But unlike employees, they know exactly when they’re leaving—with months in advance to prepare.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is quickly transforming the workplace as we know it. According to a recent Forbes article, many organizations will move from experimenting with Generative AI to making it a fundamental part of their business—transforming essential functions from human resources to customer service and supply chain management. Data analysis that used to take hours can now be done in minutes with ChatGPT.

Consider two scenarios. In one, a marketing manager uses their personal cloud storage to share a large file, bypassing the slow corporate system to meet a tight deadline. In another, a sales executive uses the company-approved CRM to download the entire client list before joining a competitor. Both actions create significant risk, but they are not the same problem. The first is a classic case of shadow IT, often driven by a desire for efficiency.

Businesses spend a fortune to fight back against external threats, yet one of the most damaging cybersecurity risks is already inside the building. These are insider threats—security risks originating from the very people you trust with access to your network: your employees, contractors, and partners. This isn’t a rare occurrence but a consistent and growing trend.

Businesses across all sectors, from finance to healthcare, hold valuable company data and intellectual property relating to their operations, employees, and customers. But this data has become a prime target for bad actors, including cybercriminals and malicious insiders who are constantly finding new ways to steal it for profit or harm.

You’ve likely heard horror stories of major companies falling victim to devastating cyber attacks. As of 2023, the average cost of a data breach rose to $9.48 million. The common thread? Many attacks start by exploiting vulnerabilities in endpoints – laptops, smartphones, servers, and other networked devices connected to your systems or corporate networks.

The cybersecurity risks facing government agencies have evolved dramatically in recent years. Foreign actors, criminal organizations, and malicious insiders are significant threats to sensitive operations and infrastructure. Agency leaders must focus on comprehensive security strategies that address sophisticated external attacks and potential insider risks.

Your company invested millions in firewalls and security software, but your greatest vulnerability sits at a desk within your own walls and collects paychecks. Employee-caused security breaches—whether through negligence, lack of training, or malicious intent—account for 68% of data breaches each year. Even a single weak password or misclicked link can open the floodgates to data loss, financial damage, and reputational fallout.

Platform Release 740 contains 350+ new features, improvements, and updates from Windows Agent 25.5, Mac Agent 25.06, Web 25.10.1, Server 25.7, BI 24.52 as well as other components since the last release. See the highlights below.
