A systematic analysis conducted after resolving a security incident to identify lessons learned, improve processes, and prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
Post-incident reviews for insider threats provide critical insights into detection gaps, response effectiveness, and prevention opportunities. These reviews examine the entire incident lifecycle from initial indicators through resolution, identifying what worked well and what needs improvement. For insider threats, reviews often reveal policy gaps, training needs, access control weaknesses, or cultural issues that contributed to the incident. The process must balance learning with sensitivity, ensuring participants feel safe to share insights while addressing systemic vulnerabilities.
