Abstract

This paper examines the growing risk of insider threat on unstructured data (Gartner Research, 2015). This review of selected literature identifies the risks and challenges in managing unstructured data, and presents best practices for risk mitigation, security and audit controls, compliance implications, and technical processes. With implementation of these practices, it is feasible that organizations can reduce the probability and impact of an insider breach on their unstructured data.
