Insider Threat Quantified: Whom Does One Trust?

Whom does one trust? Not too many is my answer.
“Workers Increasingly Steal company Data during Turnover Tsunami” contains some interesting data; for example:
there were about 65m attempts made by staff to exfiltrate source code from their corporate network in the three months to the end of June, up from about 20m in each of the previous three quarters.
The paywalled article includes some quotes from experts and underscores the fraying social fabric among workers and employers.
Phishing is a security problem. But the insider threat may be another, possibly more challenging, issue to resolve.
