Insider threats remain one of the most dangerous risks to organizations, with employees, contractors, and business partners posing significant cybersecurity challenges. According to the Occupational Fraud 2024: A Report to the Nations by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE), businesses lose an estimated 5% of annual revenue to fraud, totaling over $5 trillion globally.

The report breaks insider-driven fraud into three main types: financial statement fraud, corruption, and asset misappropriation. According to the data revealed by the study, financial statement fraud, though less common, causes the highest losses. Corruption emerges as the most widespread, while asset misappropriation — simple theft of cash, inventory, or resources — remains the most frequent. Motivations vary from financial gain to revenge to corporate espionage. Warning signs like sudden lifestyle changes, unusually close relationships with vendors, and disregard for company policies often surface before an insider acts.

As insider tactics grow more sophisticated, traditional cybersecurity tools fall short. Recognizing this gap, Zecurion, one of the leading providers of Next Generation Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions, launches a comprehensive insider threat protection ecosystem combining Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Data Centric Audit and Protection (DCAP), and User Behavior Analytics (UBA). Zecurion’s system tracks sensitive data across more than 100 services, flags suspicious movements, and enforces data protection policies in real time. It builds detailed behavior profiles for each user, monitoring emotional signals like trust, anger, or fear, and spotting behavioral anomalies that could indicate a threat. Security teams benefit from instant alerts, deep investigation workflows, and clear dashboards showing user connections, event timelines, and risk dynamics. Zecurion even blocks screen photography attempts in just 0.06 seconds — a small but critical feature in preventing stealthy data theft. The platform’s modular structure allows organizations to customize defenses to their unique needs, ensuring coverage without overwhelming teams with noise or false positives.

In an age where remote work, blurred data perimeters, and sophisticated insider schemes create daily risks, Zecurion provides the tools businesses need to see the unseen, stop threats early, and protect their most valuable assets. Knowing more means risking less, and Zecurion provides businesses with the opportunity to stay one step ahead of insider threats.
