Teaching Organizational Risk Prevention and Mitigation Using Problem-Based Learning

Abstract

Malicious or careless insiders can intentionally or unwittingly compromise an organization and threaten the safety and well-being of its workforce. To protect an organization and its employees, it is imperative that current and future leaders understand how to detect and mitigate these potential threats. This Research Note describes the development of a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) experience that uses an insider threat case study to educate current and future leaders about the types of organizational vulnerabilities and risks posed by insiders, the responsibilities they have to mitigate these risks, and the consequences of failing to do so.
