Our Data Dilemma series continues on 22nd January 2026 with Inside Job: Tackling Insider Risks with Microsoft Data Security, a 45-minute webinar covering the most important aspects of data security and insider threats.  

Leon Butler, our Solutions Director for Data Security, and Maha AbuRumman, a Technical Specialist at Microsoft, will discuss the anatomy of insider threats, what risk they pose to your business, and how you can prevent them from happening in order to secure your data. 

They’ll explain why most organisations don’t join the dots when searching for the telltale signs of insider threats, and therefore miss key evidence in the ongoing battle to minimise human error and fight against cybercrime. Leon and Maha will cover the crawl-walk-run roadmap, and explain the core shift: adoption is a programme, not a project. A project ends when a tool is deployed. A programme continues until behaviours, processes, and measurement make detection and response repeatable – and keep improving. 

Change management and user adaption are crucial for this process. At Quorum Cyber, we apply the ADKAR model, a goal-oriented change management framework developed by specialist change management company Prosci.  

ADKAR stands for: 

• Awareness: Understanding the need for change 

• Desire: The motivation to participate in and support the change 

• Knowledge: Information on how to change 

• Ability: The skills and behaviours required to implement the change 

• Reinforcement: Ensuring that the change is sustained over time. 

“One of the key points of ADKAR when it comes to improving data security across any organisation and ensuring everyone plays their part is being able to answer the question most people ask: What’s in it for me?” says Leon. “The team running the data security programme needs to ensure that everyone involved has the skills, tools and information to make the necessary changes and sustain them over time. Desire is the biggest challenge as it involves winning over the hearts and minds of the business.” 

All parties need to be aligned, motivated, and accountable for making the changes stick.  

After the webinar, attendees will take away: 

• A clear understanding of why insider-threat signals get missed – and how to start joining the dots 

• Practical ways Microsoft Purview and Insider Risk Management help you see, manage, and reduce data risk 

• Familiarity of insider threat case studies, and know how they can be prevented 

• A structured crawl–walk–run roadmap to build insider-risk capability over time  

• An invitation to a Data Security Assessment Workshop to kick off their data security strategy.
