Risk acceptance includes identifying suspicious internal people/factors.
Don’t underestimate internal threats. Legacy systems requiring unique security measures are
accompanied by legacy people who are resistant to change.

Possessive employees that impede proper authorizations/protocols raise a red flag. IT execs that
transfer responsibility to the cloud storage team and don’t maintain the same commitment level to
security are a detriment. Those conducting “shadow IT” initiatives are a danger…

Acknowledge risk and accept the reality of breach. Only then can an organization properly plan its
next-gen security strategy.
