Internal: Are accidents/attacks happening in the organisation. There are many internal threats when you are using computer system as mostly people don’t know how to use it safely or they may misuse it such as for example, an employee may copy information from a database table into an email for troubleshooting resolutions and accidentally include external email addresses in the recipient list.
