Insiders still pose a significant threat to enterprises in addition to the rapid growth of malware and online dangers. According to Gartner, more than 70% of unauthorized data access is committed by an organization's own employees:

• Conducting cyber espionage

• Exploiting data via remote access software

• Transmitting sensitive information via e-mail and instant messaging

SA Miller joined the FBI in 2003, preceded by 11 years with the State of Florida law enforcement. He also spent 18 months at FBI headquarters as a FBI Supervisory Special Agent overseeing counterintelligence investigations.
