The Trust Trap: Why Employees Turn Malicious and How Causal AI Predicts the Breaking Point

Insider threats are not just technical breaches but fundamentally human failures, where employees exploit their legitimate access due to a complex mix of financial stress, revenge, and unmet expectations. This episode explores how personality traits like narcissism and organizational shortcomings create a "Trust Trap," allowing behavioral precursors to escalate unnoticed into full-blown attacks. We examine the shift toward proactive defense, where integrating User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) and Probabilistic Graphical Networks (PGNs) with HR data provides the necessary causal, human-centric monitoring required for mitigation.
