SETA standardization is crucial, and will provide for a more focused, alert and able workforce to detect, deter or mitigate malicious Insiders.  The increased awareness and focus on the Insider Threat problem, by other Insiders, is one of the most effective and cost efficient approaches for dealing with the Insider Threat in an organization.
