When Nobody Reports the Threat

Description

Security teams often depend on users or employees to report suspicious behavior, anomalies, or identity-related issues. But humans naturally assume another person will step in first. That creates a dangerous reporting gap. If everyone ignores unusual activity because they expect somebody else to escalate it, compromised accounts and insider threats can remain active far longer than expected. The technical safeguards may exist, but hesitation and diffusion of responsibility weaken the process. What makes this problem difficult is that the behavior feels rational in the moment. Nobody believes they are creating risk by staying uninvolved. Should organizations stop relying on voluntary reporting and design systems with clearer accountability?
