September is National Insider Threat Awareness Month (NITAM). 🔎
Insider threats can come from anyone with authorized access to an organization’s people, facilities, systems, information, or resources—and the threat may be intentional or unintentional.
For cleared contractors, preventing insider threats isn’t just an Insider Threat Program responsibility. It takes awareness across the entire workforce.
Throughout September, MAC3 Defense will be sharing practical tips to help organizations strengthen insider threat awareness and encourage a culture where employees understand:
🔹 What warning signs to recognize
🔹 Why reporting matters
🔹 How everyday security practices reduce risk
🔹 The role every employee plays in protecting classified and sensitive information
A strong Insider Threat Program starts with an informed workforce.
Awareness. Reporting. Prevention.
