The Easiest Intelligence I Ever Collected Came From Inside Your Organisation

The most effective intelligence I ever collected didn’t come from surveillance, hacking, or forced entry. It came from people already inside the organisation, trusted, credentialed, and invisible to suspicion.

Insider threats aren’t just a cyber issue. They’re a leadership issue.

In a world where access often matters more than intent, the greatest risk to an organisation rarely sits outside the perimeter. It already has a login, a badge, and a seat in the meeting room.

Understanding and managing insider risk isn’t about paranoia. It’s about recognising reality, and building systems, culture, and leadership discipline that protect people, information, and outcomes before damage is done.
