Changes in employee behaviour can sometimes signal emerging insider risks. Open-source intelligence (OSINT) helps organisations recognise potential warning signs by examining publicly available information, including social media posts, blogs and online forums. Tracking changes in online behaviour over time provides valuable context for assessing personnel vulnerabilities.
In Part 5 of GSA Global’s Insider Risk Management series, Ellen Davies, Lead Open-Source Investigator, explores how open-source research can help organisations recognise shifts in employee attitudes, behaviour and online interactions. When conducted lawfully and assessed in context, this research can support early intervention, informed risk assessments and a more proactive approach to insider risk management.
