An insider attack is a malicious attack perpetrated on a network or computer system by a person with authorized system access.
Insiders that perform attacks have a distinct advantage over external attackers because they have authorized system access and also may be familiar with network architecture and system policies/procedures. In addition, there may be less security against insider attacks because many organizations focus on protection from external attacks.
An insider attack is also known as an insider threat.
