Abstract
This article explores the nature of cybersecurity professionals being insider threats to their own organization, as well as the general increase in harder-to-detect threats coming from an ever-widening acceptance of third-party insiders, which organizations, biotechnology engineering, and other healthcare organizations rely on. After examining the current and emerging literature on how individuals are motivated to engage in problematic workplace behaviors as a means of gaining their specific goal or need, the paper articulates malicious cybersecurity insider threat indicators, then provides best practices for reducing the risk of these threats in healthcare and biotechnology engineering organizations.
