All too often security is discussed primarily in the context of threats that come from the outside. Yes, cybercriminals and other outside threats are rightfully a key focus when it comes to data center security, but focusing solely on them dangerously ignores the potential threats and vulnerabilities from within: endusers and even us, the venerable but not invulnerable IT professionals.
While malicious insiders are certainly a concern, the bulk of the enduser insider threat is made up of endusers with no malicious intent at all and even those with the best of intentions who unwittingly make simple mistakes that create security vulnerabilities or who fall victim to traps.
