For National Insider Threat Awareness Month 2025, the editors at Solutions Review have compiled a list of comments from some of the leading industry experts.

As part of this year’s National Insider Threat Awareness Month, we called for the industry’s best and brightest in Identity and Access Management and the broader cybersecurity market to share best practices, predictions, and personal anecdotes. The experts featured represent some of the top influencers, consultants, and solution providers with experience in these marketplaces, and each quote has been vetted for relevance and ability to add business value.

National Insider Threat Awareness Month Quotes from Industry Experts in 2025

Jake Bell, Engineer Team Lead at Object First

“This National Insider Threat Awareness month is a reminder that one of the biggest risks to an organization’s data often can come from within the company. Whether through malicious intent or simple human error, insiders can inadvertently open the door to catastrophic breaches. The most dangerous mindset for any organization is believing ‘it won’t happen to us.’ In today’s threat landscape, leaders must operate under the assumption that a breach is inevitable. This means that secure, tested, and adaptable backup strategies are a non-negotiable.

“This month, IT teams should ensure Zero Trust Disaster Resilience (ZTDR) practices are incorporated into their storage infrastructure. With ZTDR, admins can truly harden their data protection architectures by segmenting backup software and storage, creating resilience zones, and leveraging immutable backups as the final line of defense when attackers slip past defenses. Whether through shadow IT, evolving AI tools, or the click of an unsuspecting employee, with immutable backups and ZTDR principles in place, organizations ensure recovery remains possible even in worst-case insider threat scenarios. Awareness is important, but resilience is essential.”

Patrick Harding, Chief Architect at Ping Identity

“Insider threats have long been a security risk for organizations, but the attack surface is expanding into new territory: AI agents can now act like internal users with their own access and behavior patterns. With 79 percent of senior executives reporting that AI agents are already being adopted in their companies, we’re facing a very stark reality where determining human behavior from bot behavior might be the difference between securing your organization and falling victim to a nefarious attacker.

“Whether it’s a malicious insider, a negligent employee, or an ungoverned AI agent behaving unexpectedly, the fallout from insider threats can be disastrous and long-lasting. That’s why early detection, including identifying unusual patterns like unexpected login attempts or unusual data access, is critical. However, detection alone isn’t enough. Real‑time risk assessment is essential to immediately identify and prioritize the most urgent threats. Finally, decisive actions, including escalating to security operations or enforcing stricter policies, must follow. This month is an important reminder to recognize that every identity, human or AI, needs to be treated with the same level of caution and verification.”

Pete Luban, Field CISO at AttackIQ

“Insider threats, whether from disgruntled employees or compromised credentials, are challenging to detect and prevent with traditional security measures. Insider Awareness Month serves as a reminder to security teams about the importance of simulating real-world insider attack scenarios to assess the effectiveness of their security controls and response protocols.

“Recent spikes in shadow AI usage and a lack of proper cyber hygiene increase the likelihood of insider threats. Using unauthorized tools or platforms can unknowingly expose sensitive data or create exploitable vulnerabilities, as well as poor security practices, like maintaining outdated software or weak passwords.

“By integrating techniques, such as adversarial emulation, into the security lifecycle, organizations can uncover gaps in their detection and mitigation strategies before a real attack occurs. Simulated, continuous testing can ensure that security teams can mitigate attacks before insider threats sidestep defenses and steal valuable company data.”

Joshua Roback, Principal Security Solution Architect at Swimlane

“Insider threats have always been one of the hardest challenges for security teams because they originate from people with legitimate access. Unlike external adversaries, they don’t have to find a way in. They already have the keys. That makes their actions harder to spot and far more damaging when they turn malicious or careless.

“It’s up to organizations to ensure their security systems are well-protected, starting with determining who has access to which systems. Poorly managed access controls can create an environment for insider threats to sprout and thrive. Implementing a mature identity access management solution is the most powerful weapon in mitigating insider threat risks. User behavioural analytics (UBA) can provide proactive detection of anomalous user behaviors, giving security teams a leg up against unannounced attackers.

“The rise of insider threats has resulted in the development of security measures that can ensure that threats are monitored, analyzed, and neutralized before they escalate into catastrophic breaches. Building resilience has required organizations to combine continuous monitoring, automated response, and a strong security culture to reduce the window of opportunity for insider abuse.”

Bojan Simic, Co-Founder and CEO at HYPR

September marks Insider Threat Awareness Month, and this year’s theme, ‘Partnering for Progress,’ cuts to the core of what’s failing in enterprise security today.

“Insider threat mitigation is not an isolated security problem. It’s a company-wide imperative—and it starts with identity. Whether posed by a malicious actor or an employee simply making a user error, insider threats consistently compromise organizations by exploiting gaps in how users are verified at sign-in and throughout a session.

“Identity is rightly regarded as the new perimeter, yet it remains one of the most vulnerable points of access. This is because static credentials, one-time authentication, and siloed access controls leave too much room for misuse. Most systems validate an identity once and then blindly assume that risk has been mitigated. It hasn’t.

“But technology is only half the battle. True ‘Partnering for Progress’ means aligning IT, security, HR, and compliance. Without identity assurance embedded across these functions, insider threats will inevitably slip through. The companies that are preventing breaches are not just reacting to threats; they are proactively integrating identity into every strategic decision. They are the ones who are building a resilient, security-first culture from the inside out.”

Aditya Sood, VP of Security Engineering and AI Strategy at Aryaka

“Insider Threat Awareness Month is a critical initiative for raising awareness about the unique security risks posed by internal actors. There have been several examples of insider threats wreaking havoc on major corporations, with Elon Musk’s X being the most prominent recent example.

“A malicious insider is a significant cybersecurity risk, as such individuals can steal intellectual property, exfiltrate confidential information, sabotage systems, or manipulate business operations for personal gain or in collusion with outside threats. The impact can range from financial losses and reputational damage to regulatory penalties and national security risks.

“Awareness about malicious insider activities is crucial because employees and stakeholders must understand the importance of safeguarding credentials and the necessity of reporting suspicious activity. By teaching employees to recognize the signs of suspicious behavior and reinforcing the importance of strict access controls and reporting protocols, organizations can transform their entire workforce into a crucial line of defense against internal threats. Employees’ role in this is not just important: it’s indispensable. They are the first line of defense, and their commitment to this cause will keep organizations secure.”

Steve Wilson, Chief AI and Product Officer at Exabeam

“The danger from insider threats continues to grow in the modern cyber landscape, particularly as AI accelerates their speed, stealth, and sophistication. With 64 percent of cybersecurity professionals now viewing insiders as a greater risk than external actors, Insider Threat Awareness Month is a critical opportunity to emphasize proactive defense strategies.

“While 88 percent of organizations have insider threat programs, many lack behavioral analytics needed to detect AI-enhanced attacks that exploit trusted access and mimic legitimate user behavior. As threats intensify across sectors like government, healthcare, and manufacturing, this initiative provides an opportunity to call for stronger governance, cross-functional collaboration, and real-time detection capabilities to stay ahead of both human and AI-driven insider risks.”

Mark Wojtasiak, VP of Product Research and Strategy at Vectra AI

“Insider Threat Awareness Month is a reminder that the challenge isn’t just at the perimeter; it’s inside organizations, where identities, networks, and everyday user behavior are constantly at play. Security teams are inundated with thousands of alerts daily, yet only a small fraction represent real threats. This noise leaves many analysts unable to review more than a third of alerts, and the fear of missing an attack is a weekly reality for most SOC professionals. Ultimately, this noise drowns out the signal that matters most—the activity rooted in how identities are used and how they traverse the network.

“Compounding this, recent industry research shows that insider threats, particularly non-privileged users whose accounts are compromised or misused, are now the most prevalent attacker profile. Nearly two out of five prioritized threats are tied to insider behaviors. The reality is that user and identity misuse is inevitable in today’s complex networks and environments. That’s why security leaders need to focus on detection and response strategies that look beyond the perimeter and zero in on how accounts, identities, networks, and data are actually being used. Reducing noise while elevating the signal that matters most is critical to empowering SOC teams to catch what could otherwise slip through the cracks.”

The editors at Solutions Review highlight and summarize the key takeaways in Gartner’s inaugural Magic Quadrant for Network Detection and Response.

Analyst house Gartner, Inc. recently released the inaugural version of its Magic Quadrant for Network Detection and Response. Gartner defines network detection and response (NDR) products as systems that “continuously monitor traffic for anomalies, suspicious patterns, and threat indicators.” These products are also designed to complement other threat detection solutions, and are delivered as a combination of hardware and software appliances for sensors, some with IaaS support. 

Additionally, Gartner’s report outlines several “mandatory” features an NDR solution must have. These include the ability to model normal network traffic, highlight traffic activity that falls outside the normal range, deliver form factors compatible with on-premises and cloud networks, aggregate individual alerts into structured incidents, detect threats with Intelligence feeds, and provide automatic or manual response capabilities to react to the detection of malicious network traffic.

Key Takeaways: 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Network Detection and Response

In this Magic Quadrant, Gartner identifies some of the most significant network detection and response providers in the marketplace. The researchers behind the report—Thomas Lintemuth, Esraa ElTahawy, John Collins, Charanpal Bhogal, and Nahim Fazal—evaluated the strengths and weaknesses of each provider listed and ranked them on the signature “Magic Quadrant” graph, which illustrates each vendor’s ability to execute its vision. The diagram includes four quadrants: leaders, challengers, niche players, and visionaries.

To qualify for the report, each vendor must meet specific criteria. Those include having an NDR product generally available by October 31st, 2024, offering a standalone product that can be deployed without connecting to the Internet, and having at least 30 deployments in Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure. Additionally, the vendors had to meet at least two criteria from the list below:

• Generated $30 million in revenue from the evaluated NDR product between January 1st, 2024, and December 31st, 2024.
• Have at least 150 enterprise customers (each with over 5,000 seats) as of December 31st, 2024.

For World Password Day 2025, the editors at Solutions Review have compiled a list of comments from some of the leading industry experts.

As part of this year’s World Password Day, we called for the industry’s best and brightest in Identity and Access Management and the broader cybersecurity market to share best practices, predictions for the future of passwords, and personal anecdotes. The experts featured represent some of the top influencers, consultants, and solution providers with experience in these marketplaces, and each projection has been vetted for relevance and ability to add business value. The list is organized alphabetically by company name.

World Password Day Quotes from Industry Experts in 2025

Tim Eades, CEO and Co-Founder at Anetac

Arun Shrestha, CEO and Co-Founder at BeyondID

“Passwords are old news, and World Password Day—once a reminder of cybersecurity best practices—now underscores the importance of phasing out the very authentication method it once championed. With stolen credentials topping the breach origin charts and phishing attacks up 4,151 percent since the launch of ChatGPT, it’s clear that traditional passwords are no longer sufficient. Modern threats call for passwordless authentication—not just for stronger security, but for a frictionless user experience. It’s time to answer the phone.”

Read on for more.

“For decades, passwords have been the weak link in cybersecurity–outdated, overused, and increasingly ineffective. But now, organizations are making a clear shift. Multi-factor authentication and sign-in links have emerged as the primary methods for user authentication across the US, UK, and globally, overtaking passwords.

“This step change comes as over half of business and IT decision-makers report higher fraud attempts with username and password alone compared to other methods. We’re at a cybersecurity inflection point: passwords are no longer sufficient. Modern, layered authentication methods, such as facial biometrics, device recognition, or generated codes, are stepping in.

“Rather than forcing users to create longer, more complex passwords, it’s time for organizations to embrace a passwordless future where customers and employees can prove their identity conveniently and securely using their biometrics. This approach reduces risk, streamlines access, and meets the expectations of today’s digital-first users.”

Joel Burleson-Davis, Chief Technology Officer at Imprivata

“This World Password Day, it seems appropriate to shift the discussion from securing and managing passwords to the demise of the password. Passwords have served us well (sort of), and we’ve been long talking about ditching the traditional, complex password because of their burden and unintentional insecurity. However, with every second mattering in critical work, now more than ever, passwordless authentication has become business-critical.

“There are signs of good adoption of both passwordless strategies and shunning our old password-burdened ways in mobile devices, which are built with and extensively leverage facial recognition for security purposes, but some of our most critical technologies in our most critical sectors have been reluctant to implement similar solutions in their operations. As life- and mission-critical industries like healthcare and manufacturing cope with staffing challenges while being increasingly targeted, it’s time they reconsider access management and their relationship with the password paradigm.

“In healthcare, for example, and in particular, the delivery of health care, where a 17-character password is not practical for clinicians who are treating patients who need rapid and frequent access to Electronic Health Records (EHRs) in all kinds of situations. Entering a complex password for these users only creates barriers that delay patient care, eats up clinician time, and exacerbate burnout.

“Passwordless solutions, particularly biometrics-based ones, offer a tailored and frictionless experience that enables everyone from healthcare providers to manufacturing operators to maintain the highest security standards while empowering them to deliver timely, critical work without unnecessary barriers. I look forward to a World Password Day in the future that is full of cheering and celebration because we’ve finally released ourselves from the burden of putting memorized, complex strings into a little prompt box for the sake of security.”

Stephanie Schneider, Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst at LastPass

“World Password Day is a great reminder for every organization that identity access management is the foundation of effective company security. Abusing legitimate credentials is one of the easiest and most common ways hackers gain unauthorized access to systems. Given the rise of infostealers over the last few years, which frequently target credentials and other sensitive data to resell on underground marketplaces, acquiring these is easier than ever. Credentials and session cookies stolen from employees’ personal devices can be used to breach corporate networks.

“A key aspect of stealers is their heavy reliance on the ‘spray-and-prey’ tactic, rather than directly targeting corporate networks, they’re counting on individuals having weaker security on their personal devices and using their work credentials on personal devices. The time from infection via stealer malware to the time that information is posted to the dark web can be speedy, especially with automation tools. Organizations must monitor for exposed credentials and change credentials as quickly as possible to disrupt breaches and attacks before they can occur. In a world where hybrid work has blurred the lines between personal and professional devices, businesses can’t afford to be casual about credential management.

“Using strong, unique passwords is just the tip of the iceberg when protecting your identity access. Reusing passwords across services is still one of the most common mistakes employees make—and one of the easiest ways for attackers to gain access. Requiring multi-factor authentication (MFA) should be standard for every business account, and it is a good idea for personal accounts, too.

“This World Password Day, take a look at your access policies. Are you protecting your company or making it easier for someone else to break in?”

“Leverage passkeys as the primary authentication method whenever possible. While passkeys are not immune to cyber-attacks, they are significantly more secure and phishing-resistant because they are linked to a device or leverage biometric authentication. Plus, they’re a whole lot easier to manage than constantly juggling new password combinations.”

Anthony Cusimano, Solutions Director at Object First

“I believe the death of the password is just around the corner. Passwords are no longer a secure method of authentication and should not be treated as secure. So, I’ll share the advice I have taken up in the last year: use a password manager, app-based or browser-based (either works!).

“Password managers securely store your passwords in a locked vault and come with convenient browser extensions that autofill logins. They can also generate unique, complex passwords for every account. Many of these tools allow you to customize password requirements according to your preferences, including specifying length and incorporating symbols, numbers, and mixed case. Additionally, password managers can alert you to duplicate or weak passwords and often suggest optimal times for changes.

“The password alone is NOT a secure authentication method; that’s why I have given up trying to maximize their security and left the brainwork to someone else. It’s 2025—let an app do the password legwork for you, and here’s to hoping that passwords become a thing of the past sooner rather than later.”

Nicolas Fort, Director of Product Management at One Identity

“Passwords have come a long way, from punch-tape reels in 1961 to the world of multi-factor authentication and fingerprint identification we inhabit today. The next leap is already happening—passkeys tied to devices, one-time AI-generated tokens, and even blockchain-backed session receipts. It’s no accident that password technology is constantly evolving.

“Cyber-attacks are more frequent, threat actors have more sophisticated tools at their disposal, and as businesses continue to store more and more sensitive data online, regulators are rightly demanding that they keep up. The EU’s NIS2, the UK’s Cyber Resilience Act, DORA, HIPAA, and countless other rules and regulations now demand rock-solid control over user accounts at every touchpoint. That means audited sessions, behavioral analytics, rotating passwords, and just-in-time credentials—so that no matter how hard attackers try, there’s simply nothing there to steal.”

Drew Perry, Chief Innovation Officer at Ontinue

“As positive a day as World Password Day is, I look forward to the day it no longer exists or is at least renamed! With the rise of passkey support across major platforms and devices, we’re finally seeing a shift towards more secure and user-friendly authentication. Passkeys are cryptographic credentials that eliminate the need for passwords entirely, offering phishing-resistant, biometric-based access. It’s time we moved beyond passwords, which are too often reused, weak, or compromised. Simpler identity protection is needed so we, as humans, don’t just pick a random string of characters that we will never remember!”

“We have come a long way. Password manager adoption is rising, multi-factor authentication is available for most critical online services, and people are reusing the same passwords less. But still, hackers are succeeding in their attacks. We have been saying since the early 2010s that “hackers don’t hack in, they log in,” and as time goes on, it becomes even more true.

“Stolen credentials overtook email phishing as the second most frequently observed initial infection vector in 2024 during intrusions into businesses. At Ontinue, we have witnessed first-hand the rise of sophisticated infostealer malware, which captures passwords as they are entered by users during login. This enables attackers to simply log in if no other secondary authentication methods are enabled, which, sadly, is often the case.

“Awareness is key. Enable passkeys where possible. I suggest we lay the password to rest and embrace the passwordless future.”

“World Password Day serves as an annual reminder of a universal truth: passwords are a pain. Despite being a cornerstone of our digital lives, they consistently fall short. From the widespread practice of password reuse—a virtual invitation to cyber-criminals—to the ease with which they can be compromised through social engineering or simple guessing, the inherent weaknesses of password-based authentication are undeniable.

Solutions Review’s listing of the best endpoint security vendors and solutions is an annual look into the software providers included in our Buyer’s Guide and Solutions Directory. Our editors gathered this information via online materials, reports, product demonstrations, conversations with vendor representatives, and free trial examinations.

Endpoint security occupies an exciting space in the cybersecurity market. The traditional digital perimeter—the former prime area of protection for endpoint security software—no longer exists. Identity and authentication have now almost wholly subsumed the perimeter of enterprise IT environments. Yet, the typical IT environment has grown far beyond what any expert could have predicted even a few years ago. Not only are more enterprises migrating to the cloud and facing the security issues that come with the subsequent decentralization, but they are also expanding the endpoints connecting to their networks.

Endpoint security solutions have to provide more than antivirus capabilities, though. These solutions must also extend visibility over mobile and IoT devices, scan for dwelling threats on devices through endpoint detection and response (EDR), and control how data can move into and out of your network and within its various databases. To help companies find and implement the best endpoint security vendors and software, the editors at Solutions Review have compiled this list of the best endpoint security vendors in the marketplace worth knowing about in 2025 and beyond.
