What is Insider Risk Management?

Insider Risk Management (IRM) involves processes and technologies designed to detect, prevent, and respond to malicious, negligent, or compromised insiders who could potentially harm an organization. This includes monitoring employee behavior, data access, and communication patterns to identify anomalies that may indicate a risk of data theft, fraud, intellectual property loss, or other internal threats. IRM solutions often involve data loss prevention (DLP), user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA), and access control measures.
