Protecting Organisations' Data against Insider Related Breaches

The dependence on computer systems has grown exceedingly much during the obnoxious COVID -19. Afterwards, it has not waned. Many activities and transactions have thus been moved virtual. All sectors also leverage the gains brought about by technology to advance their efficiency. However, the rate of data breaches has also spiked and organisations keep battling to protect of resources. More worrisome is the issue of breaches traceable to have arisen from within the organisation, even after fortifying the network with a firewall, router and other measures against external attacks. This research attempted to proffer a solution to protect organisations' data against insider-related breaches. While cybersecurity is an all-encompassing activity, the research proposed a symmetric encryption. The study revealed that 100% of respondents believed that insider-rated breaches (IRB) would lead to losses. Thus, a solution would be needed to protect against data breaches with a view to minimising losses to organisations.
