Strengthening Cybersecurity Resilience: Insider Threats and Risk Management Complacency

• In this comprehensive 120-minute workshop, Comsure and its expert speaker, Andrew Compton, the CEO and lead security consultant at Cortida Limited, will combine insights from insider threats and wilful neglect of cyber risks to provide a practical approach for organisations to enhance their security posture. 
• The workshop is designed for professionals in finance, compliance, human resources and risk management. 
• The session will focus on early detection, psychological factors, and actionable frameworks to mitigate risks effectively

Why Attend?

In Jersey's thriving finance hub, social engineering and insider attacks exploit human and digital vulnerabilities to bypass even the strongest technical defences, leading to data breaches, fraud, and reputational damage. 
 
This workshop is designed to equip attendees with practical knowledge to recognise and counter these threats. 

The workshop will help attendees:

• Understand how to safeguard their organisation against evolving cyber risks and attackers who target individuals and digital systems at every level
• Understand the psychological mechanisms and emotional influences that result in wilful neglect of risks
• Learn from real-world examples tailored to offshore finance.
• Gain confidence in fostering a security-conscious culture that protects assets and complies with regulations like GDPR and JFSC guidelines, along with international standards
• Earn valuable CPD credits (1.5hr) while networking with industry peers.

Workshop Structure (90 Minutes Presentation + 30 Minutes Q&A)

·         Mathew Beale, CEO  Comsure, Introduction (10 minutes): 

• A reminder of regulatory drivers for managing cyber vulnerabilities

• Andrew Compton is the CEO and lead security consultant at Cortida Limited. Introduction (10 minutes):
  • Overview of rising insider risks and the dangers of unaddressed cyber vulnerabilities in today's organisations, emphasising why these issues often stem from trusted access and human factors.
• Part 1: Understanding Insider Threats (30 minutes):
  • Insider threats are among the fastest-growing cybersecurity challenges and often the costliest. Why? Because they originate from trusted employees and contractors with legitimate access.

Andrew will discuss:- 

• The different types of insider threats, regardless of whether they are malicious or accidental, and why they often go unnoticed.
• How stressors like personal, workplace, and financial pressure increase vulnerability 
• How planned and unplanned organisational changes bring a multiplier effect 
• The early warning indicators (technical, digital and behavioural) and why they’re missed.
• A practical framework to detect risks early, support employees, and uphold organisational values.

• Part 2: Addressing Wilful Neglect in Risk Management (30 minutes):
  • Ignoring known cyber risks could lead to catastrophic consequences. Wilful neglect of cyber risks poses a serious threat to organisations. It can lead to regulatory fines, civil litigation, and even personal liability for executives if conscious inaction is identified. Despite these dangers, many risk registers remain filled with long-known, unaddressed risks that exceed the organisation’s stated appetite. After incidents occur, explanations often cite resource constraints, business disruption, or complexity, but rarely acknowledge the psychological and emotional factors that drive inaction.

Andrew will discuss:- 

• The regulatory, civil, and executive liabilities linked to conscious inaction after a cyber incident
• How faulty thinking and cognitive biases expose organisations
• How psychological mechanisms and emotions can result in faulty thinking and complacency in risk management

• Integrated Framework and Best Practices (10 minutes):
  • Present a unified, practical framework to detect risks early, support employees, eliminate complacency, and align with organisational values while fostering a proactive cybersecurity culture.
• Q&A Session (30 minutes):
  • Interactive discussion to address participant questions, share experiences, and apply concepts to real-world scenarios in offshore finance.
