The Insider Threat video is missing key indicators of insider threats. It talks about one employee feeling unappreciated and shows the consequences but does not teach the commonly known indicators.
These include, but are not limited to:
• Difficult life circumstances
o Divorce or death of spouse
o Alcohol or other substance misuse or dependence
o Untreated mental health issues
o Financial difficulties
• Extreme, persistent interpersonal difficulties
• Hostile or vindictive behavior
• Criminal behavior
• Unexplained or sudden affluence
• Unreported foreign contact and travel
• Inappropriate, unusual, or excessive interest in sensitive or classified information
• Mishandling of Confidential or sensitive information
