A day in the life
No two days are the same in Insider Risk teams - the nature of the work we do and constantly shifting threat landscape means sometimes you'll be working with an internal service team to find anomalous use of their data, other days you'll be working with IT teams to build improved controls. Some days you'll be busy writing detections, or mentoring or running design review meetings.
