NASA is in need of better cyber security. Do you have an answer for the “insider threat”?

Putting the black hole pun aside, the insider threat is a problem every organisation has to deal with – as every organisation has to trust people to varying degrees to operate.

Board members and senior manages should have answers to those questions.
