About the Program

Most security programs focus on external threats. But some of the most damaging breaches come from within, through trusted insiders, whether acting maliciously, negligently, or accidentally.

The AIIT Insider Threat Awareness Program is Australia’s leading human-centric training initiative designed to help organisations prevent, detect, deter, and respond to insider risks. Delivered by the Australian Institute of Insider Threats (AIIT), this comprehensive program blends behavioural science, education, leadership engagement, and culture change to build real resilience at every level of your organisation.

Discovery & Alignment Session

Before any training begins, we work closely with you to understand your context. Our Discovery & Alignment Session ensures every component of the program is tailored to your organisation’s risk profile, culture, and strategic goals.

Includes:

Pre-engagement questionnaire
60–90-minute consultation (virtual or onsite)
Stakeholder interviews
Insider threat profile assessment
Custom AIIT Engagement Brief (risk insights, tier recommendation, rollout roadmap)
