Insider risk has emerged as one of the most significant threats to technology-driven organizations, particularly those with a strong reliance on long term, high value intellectual property (IP). This session presents NXP’s integrated approach to managing insider risk, with a specific focus on the detection, prevention, and response to IP exfiltration. It explains how insider threats differ from external cyberattacks and why semiconductor companies are prime targets for economic espionage. The presentation walks through how NXP combines insider behavior analytics, data loss prevention (DLP), HR lifecycle data, and governance processes to identify early warning signals and prevent data loss before it occurs. Real world examples illustrate both malicious and unintentional insider actions, including leaver risk and attempts to circumvent technical controls.
