Description: Internal threat detection is the process of identifying and mitigating threats that originate within the organization. This approach is based on the premise that not all risks come from the outside; in fact, employees, contractors, or partners can pose a significant danger. In the context of Zero Trust security, internal threat detection becomes a critical component, as this security philosophy assumes that both internal and external networks can be vulnerable. Organizations must implement rigorous controls and constant monitoring to detect anomalous behaviors that may indicate a potential attack or data breach. This includes the use of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and behavior analysis to identify unusual patterns in data and system access. Internal threat detection not only focuses on prevention but also on rapid incident response, thereby minimizing the potential impact on the organization. In an environment where mobility and remote work are increasingly common, internal threat detection becomes more relevant, as network boundaries blur and data can be accessible from multiple locations and devices.
