About the Event
This webinar examines insider risk through the lens of the Critical Pathway to Insider Risk (CPIR), a model developed by Dr. Eric Shaw that maps how individuals progress toward harmful actions against their organizations. The session explores how the model has evolved and its practical applications for security teams.
Understanding the Critical Pathway Model
The CPIR framework identifies stages that individuals may pass through before committing insider acts. Dr. Shaw will discuss the role of stress, disgruntlement, and behavioral change as potential indicators. A central theme is learning to differentiate between common workplace dissatisfaction and patterns that warrant closer attention, helping organizations avoid treating every unhappy employee as a potential threat.
Reducing False Positives
The session addresses a persistent challenge in insider risk programs: the high rate of false positives that can erode trust and waste resources. Attendees will learn how adding context to insider risk signals can improve detection accuracy and identify appropriate intervention points before risk materializes into impact.
Who Should Attend
This webinar is suited for security professionals, insider threat program managers, and HR leaders responsible for identifying and mitigating internal risks while maintaining a balanced approach to employee monitoring.
