The Insider Threat to National Security
Michael Driscoll, Senior Managing Director, FTI Consulting, Jim Dennehy, Managing Director of Global Security, JPMorganChase, and George Turner, Partner, Jones Day; Private-sector insider risk is often treated as an employment, compliance, or cybersecurity issue. In critical infrastructure, however, a trusted individual’s access can create consequences far beyond one institution, including disruption to essential services, exposure of sensitive information, facilitation of foreign intelligence activity, and loss of confidence in the trusted systems. This panel examines how organizations can identify and address insider risk, assess when it rises to a national security concern, and navigate the legal, regulatory, investigative, and operational challenges that follow.
