Some of the most serious security threats to family offices come from within — employees, contractors, vendors, and even family members. Our white paper, Combating Insider Threats in Family Offices, examines these critical vulnerabilities and provides a roadmap for developing comprehensive insider threat programs.
As the report highlights: "Insider threats can come from a variety of sources, including employees, former employees, contractors, vendors, and family members. The motivations for these threats vary, including financial gain, personal grievances, ideological beliefs, and commonly simple negligence."
With technological innovations bringing unprecedented convenience, they've also created new avenues for malicious insiders to exploit. Family offices, which collectively oversee hundreds of billions of dollars in assets, face a significant challenge: the same advancements that empower efficient management have become pathways for insider exploitation.
The white paper addresses what insider threats look like, why family offices must develop proactive programs to counter them, common misconceptions about these threats, and actionable strategies for protection across cyber, physical, financial, operational, and reputational risk domains.
