Protecting Federal Information Systems with the Microsoft Insider Risk Management Solution
Insider risk management remains at the forefront of priorities in protecting federal information systems. Federal requirements such as Executive Order 13587, the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) provide respective guidance and requirements for defending against insider risk scenarios. Recent work trend indexes demonstrate shifts between on-premises and remote work during the pandemic. These indexes also highlight workforce exhaustion due to extended remote work hours and challenges to work-life balance. These shifts increase insider risk scenarios including both witting (intentional) and un-witting (accidental or negligent) circumstances. Managing these risks and aligning to government compliance directives requires development of comprehensive insider risk management capabilities across Zero Trust architectures.
