In this episode of Unspoken Security, host AJ Nash welcomes Virgil Capollari, the founder of Adaptive Risk Strategies, to dive into the intricacies of insider threat programs. They discuss the often misunderstood aspects of these initiatives, emphasizing the importance of clear definitions and transparency to foster trust within organizations.

Virgil, leveraging his extensive experience in intelligence and risk management, highlights the fundamental elements required for an effective insider threat program. He stresses the necessity of executive buy-in and continuous training to maintain security awareness across all levels of an organization.

The conversation shifts to the delicate balance of maintaining confidentiality during
investigations while being transparent about processes and objectives. Virgil advises against excessive secrecy which could alienate the workforce the program aims to protect. Instead, he advocates for a collaborative approach to strengthen the program's effectiveness and ensure organizational security.

Finally, as with all episodes of Unspoken Security, AJ presses Virgil to share something he has never talked about before; something unspoken. Virgil responds with a powerful lesson about the risk of - and potential harm that can be caused by - cutting and pasting.
