Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is calling on critical infrastructure organizations to take decisive action against insider threats. To support this effort, CISA has released today a powerful new resource\u2014Assembling a Multi-Disciplinary Insider Threat Management Team. Designed for critical infrastructure entities and state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) governments, this comprehensive infographic provides actionable strategies guidance to proactively prevent, detect and mitigate insider threats-helping organizations stay ahead of evolving organizational vulnerabilities.
\nInsider threats often take two forms: calculated acts of harm and unintentional mistakes. Malicious insiders may exploit access for personal gain or revenge, causing severe damage to systems and trust, At the same time, negligence or simple human errors can open the door to vulnerabilities that adversaries can exploit. Whether driven by intent or accident, insider threats pose one of the most serious risks to organizational security and resilience- demanding proactive measures to detect, prevent and respond.
\n\u201cInsider threats remain one of the most serious challenges to organizational security because they can erode trust and disrupt critical operations.\u201d said\u00a0Acting CISA Director Dr. Madhu Gottumukkala. \u201cCISA is committed to helping organizations confront this risk head-on by delivering practical strategies, expert guidance, and actionable resources that empower leaders to act decisively \u2014 building resilient, multi-disciplinary teams, fostering accountability, and safeguarding the systems Americans rely on every day.\u201d
\nIn today\u2019s dynamic threat landscape, insider threat management teams can play a vital role in organizational resilience and should not be viewed as optional\u2014they are essential. By following this roadmap and implementing its recommendations, organizations can reduce vulnerabilities, prevent workplace violence, and transform vulnerability into strength, ultimately reinforcing their defenses against evolving threats.
\n\u201cInsider threats can disrupt operations, compromise safety, and cause reputational damage without warning. Organizations with mature insider threat programs are more resilient to disruptions, should they occur. People are the first and best line of defense against malicious insider threats and organizations should act now to safeguard their people and assets,\u201d said\u00a0CISA Executive Assistant Director for Infrastructure Security Steve Casapulla.\u00a0\u201cWith input from our industry and government partners, our new infographic delivers clear, actionable guidance for building insider threat management teams. We encourage leadership to draw expertise from across departments for a holistic defense, while fostering a culture of trust where employees feel empowered to report concerns and stop threats before they escalate.\u201d
