Copyright 2020 Code42 Software, Inc. "Insider Risk has never been greater, because taking data has never been easier," said Payne. "Collaboration technology has enabled organizations to innovate faster. That's the big upside. But there is a downside. The same technology that makes us more productive also makes it much easier to exfiltrate data. Our new book - and the real world stories it tells - will make you stop and think twice about Insider Risk and why conventional ways of protecting your company's sensitive data are no longer enough." At a time when workforces are more distributed than ever before and data is moving off corporate networks, Inside Jobs offers companies a new way to secure today's collaborative cultures. The book:
Inside obs has chapters for the CEO, CIO, CISO, CHRO and CLO as critical change agents in not only facilitating digital transformation, but also managing the Insider Risks that come with it. In addition to practical advice, the book delivers practical frameworks for assessing risk posture and awareness, and building an effective Insider Risk program.

"In an era of sprawling cloud and consumerized IT, the challenge of security is not just to figure out who and what needs to be protected, but how to do so in the simplest way possible. This book drives this point home, and shows how to take friction out of security for users without putting data in jeopardy."
"This book addresses a problem that needs focus-insider threat is a very real issue that organizations need to grapple with and understand. It's one of the greatest underserved risks in cybersecurity today."
"I never thought I'd read a book about cybersecurity insider threats that is actually-dare I say it-engaging. By illustrating technical points with compelling stories and examples, this book becomes a productive read not only for the CISO, but also for the CIO, the CHRO and the CEO."
"Today, some of the most pressing problems in security revolve around insider threats and data security. Code42's book provides new perspective on these problems and how much more important they have become in the increasingly remote and distributed workplace, suggesting major changes in how we approach data security."
"I've seen too many organizations feel they have a cybersecurity program because they have a few cybersecurity products. This book really shows how the care of your data is fundamental to protecting it."
"While many executives understand security threats from outside their company, most don't protect their business from insiders. Employees lose, steal, or misplace data more often than businesses realize, costing billions. Inside Jobs is packed with powerful examples and actionable advice every senior executive needs to know in a fast-paced book that can be finished in one plane ride."
"Data leaks are going to happen. Code42's approach to insider threat detection shows you exactly what you need to know when your confidential data is walking out the door and what to do about it."
