In this episode of Security Insider, we examine the growing threat of insider risk and the rising importance of counterespionage in the corporate environment. Our guests for this episode are Lou Bladel, Uber’s Director of Insider Threat and former FBI Special Agent in Charge of Counterintelligence in New York, alongside Julian Claxton of Jayde Consulting and Brenton Steenkamp, Partner at Clayton Utz.
