The 10th National Insider Risk Symposium will convene key leaders, innovators, and experts from both the commercial and public sectors to discuss the evolving insider risk landscape, along with the technologies, policies, and strategies necessary to disrupt and mitigate those threats. The event will highlight the importance of a multifaceted approach to strengthen detection capabilities, accelerate responses to emerging risks, and drive the development of more proactive security measures.

The public and private sectors continue to face escalating data breaches and unauthorized disclosures driven by insider risks, whether from negligence, malicious intent, or compromised accounts. As threats grow more sophisticated and costly, investing in advanced counter-insider risk programs is more critical than ever. In 2025, the average cost of insider risk incidents surpassed $17 million dollars- up from $16.2 million in 2023- underscoring the urgent need for proactive, organization-wide strategies.

The 2025 National Insider Risk Symposium will explore key topics such as mitigation strategies, preventive measures, case studies, cutting-edge detection technologies, the role of organizational culture, incident response and recovery, emerging threats, future trends, and the importance of cross-sector collaboration and information sharing. Specialized panels will address insider risks across industries, including financial services, energy and utilities, and the space sector. The program will also highlight innovative commercial solutions for insider risk. Attendees will gain exclusive insights from experts across industry and government on the latest trends, strategies, and tools for identifying, assessing, and managing insider risks.

DSI’s team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Symposium’s content and focus areas, and we will assemble the most respected minds in insider risk management, from leaders across Commercial, Government, and Academia. Our non-partisan approach allows us to reach across all services and organizations to bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers.
