An Unaddressed Threat To Critical Infrastructure And National Security: Insider Cyber Sabotage Dawn Cappelli, VP of Global Security & Chief Information Security Officer, Rockwell Automation [NYSE:ROK] Dawn Cappelli, VP of Global Security & Chief Information Security Officer, Rockwell Automation [NYSE:ROK] In the cybersecurity industry we are somewhat fickle— we shift our attention back and forth between insider and external threats based on recent events. In the 90’s and early 2000’s we focused on computer viruses as that was the predominant threat. From 2010-2014, our attention shifted to insider threats when Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden grabbed the headlines. In 2015 we pivoted back to external threats when ransomware became prevalent. In 2017, following WannaCry and NotPetya, we understandably are largely focusing on external cyber threats. However, beware that the pendulum is likely to shift back to insider threats. In addition, with the shifting recent external cyber-attacks from theft to sabotage, we should be prepared for the same shift in insider threats.
