A common lexicon needs to be developed so organizations can take a holistic approach to the insider threat. The CERT Insider Threat Center defines insiders as those who pose a substantial threat by virtue of their knowledge of, and access to, their employers’ systems and databases.

The idea of combining physical and virtual security isn’t new.”]
