This brief, written by USAA, BNY Mellon, and Leidos and originally appearing in the Cyber Risk Oversight 2020: Key Principles and Practical Guidance for Corporate Boards, focuses on ensuring that boards are equipped with the questions they need to ask when considering insider threats to the organization.
