According to antiterrorism measures, which of the following is considered an insider threat?

Insider threats refer to risks that originate from individuals within an organization, usually employees or contractors, who have inside information concerning the organization's security practices, data, and computer systems. Both espionage and security negligence fit into this category for different reasons.

Espionage involves a person using their access to sensitive information or systems to steal critical data or information, often for the benefit of another nation, entity, or competitor. This deliberate and malicious act poses a significant threat to the organization's security and safety.

Security negligence, on the other hand, refers to a situation where an insider fails to adhere to safety protocols or security measures in a way that compromises the organization’s safety. This negligence can inadvertently lead to data breaches, unauthorized access, or exposure of sensitive information, resulting in a potential insider threat.

Recognizing both espionage and negligence emphasizes the importance of comprehensive security measures and the need for constant vigilance regarding insider actions. Identifying these threats helps organizations implement better training, monitoring, and protocols to mitigate risks associated with insider actions.
