The years pass, and the world changes. Or, at least, priorities change.
Yesterday’s perils, losing their novelty today, become tomorrow’s outliers. Defenses spawned in the wake of those fresh perils lose their potency as attention shifts to the apocalyptic threat of the day. And such threats seem to multiply over time. Yet human rascality persists, even when its manifestations surface by new means, concealed by different camoufage but pursuing the same ends. So it is with communications, means of locomotion, and interpersonal relations. The means change, but the destination remains the same. So, too, with insider threats.
In the interval since the frst edition of this book, popular gaze and priorities have shifted. The receding specter of terrorist attacks such as September 11, 2001, diminished in the aftermath of natural disasters and cascading media attention to other things. For a time, the rise of ISIS and jihadi-connected attacks on unsuspecting civilian populations rekindled that attention. Eventually, though, terrorists and their power to deliver asymmetric impact by attacking as hostile insiders began to lose priority to a panoply of threats, all characterized as “existential.” All these menaces competed for bandwidth, funding, and collapsing attention spans. And their reach was vast: climate change, social justice, violent protest, energy policy, political polarization – all competing for primacy. Moreover, each found champions insisting that, since the given cause constituted an “existential” threat, it demanded top priority to the exclusion of all else. Otherwise, certain doom would follow, and the rest of the causes would cease to matter anyway.
At the same time, as this competitive landscape summoned towering monsters in front of personal windshields, other events apparently justifed consigning insider threats to the rearview mirror. After all, popular sentiment seemed to affrm, insider threat programs had proliferated in lockstep with advances in monitoring algorithms and technologies. Insider threat sermons became as ubiquitous as seatbelts. And, while both seemed like good ideas, both fell short of providing guarantees. Insider threats continue to surface, just as automobile accidents continue to happen, regardless of defensive tools and instructive efforts. Some dangers never go completely away, even as our capacity for remaining on perpetual alert dissipates.
