This course examines insider risk through real Canadian national-security and public-sector cases, focusing on the intersection of human motivation, media dynamics, law, and organizational failure. Drawing on first-hand experience with sensitive Government of Canada investigations, participants explore how insider incidents unfold, why traditional controls fail, and how to design an effective, rights-respecting Insider Risk Management Program (IRMP). The course emphasizes judgment, governance, and leadership decision-making, not just tools.
