Addressing Insider Threat
Overview
Welcome to the Addressing Insider Threat course.
Safety and security are top priorities for our industry. Sadly, recent events show us that terrorists continue to try to exploit aviation to do harm, not only from outside the system but also from within.
The people who facilitate these attacks are known as insider threats, and their position of trust allows them to understand the system and exploit any vulnerabilities, knowingly or otherwise.
The Addressing Insider Threat course provides airport management teams with a basic understanding of the issues and challenges facing airports when staff members cause harm to the organization and others and offers best practices and examples drawn from around the world.
Most airport staff members conduct themselves in an ethical and professional manner.
This course looks at the rare occasions when staff members exploit their positions of trust to harm the organization and others. We also consider when well-intentioned and unwitting employees are exploited by others to cause harm.
