Insider Threat Pulse Report 2025: Trends from 100 Security Leaders
Key takeaways:
- 56% of organizations experienced an insider threat incident in the past year
- Security teams are equally concerned about negligent and malicious insiders
- Alert fatigue, tooling gaps, and manual workflows delay detection and response
- 60% of HR–security coordination is still manual, leaving exposure gaps
Over half of enterprises experienced an insider threat incident in the past year – and it’s not just disgruntled employees that are creating problems. Negligent clicks on phishing links, shadow IT, and fraudulent job applicants (yes, including North Korean IT operatives) are shining a light on risky holes in enterprise security programs.
The threat isn’t hypothetical – it’s happening at scale, right now. SpyCloud’s 2025 Insider Threat Pulse Report, based on input from 100 security leaders, shows how alert fatigue, manual HR-security coordination, and fragmented toolstacks are leaving teams flying blind. The overall takeaway? Traditional approaches and behavioral analytics alone won’t save you.
Identity misuse is the common thread behind both negligent and malicious insiders, and why security teams need to move from reactive to predictive – fast.
