Sponsorship supports the continued development of the industry’s leading open framework for insider threat investigation.

Valley Forge, PA, July 13, 2026 — Red Vector today announced that it has joined the Insider Threat Matrix™ (ITM) as a founding sponsor, a freely accessible, practitioner-led framework used by digital investigators worldwide to identify, categorize, and respond to computer-enabled insider threats.

The Insider Threat Matrix™ was created to provide investigators with a common structure for mapping the motive, means, and methods behind insider incidents, from early warning indicators to post-incident anti-forensic activity. Maintained under the stewardship of Forscie, the matrix is built and governed independently, with sponsorship supporting the framework’s research, curation, and infrastructure rather than its editorial direction.

As a founding sponsor, Red Vector will help support the ongoing development and public availability of the ITM, reinforcing the company’s commitment to strengthening the tools and standards available to the insider threat and investigations community.

“For years, the insider threat community has lacked what external threat defenders have long taken for granted: a common, open language for describing how incidents unfold. The Insider Threat Matrix fills that gap. It gives practitioners a shared structure for the motive, means, and methods behind insider incidents, and it does so in the open, governed by practitioners rather than any single vendor. That is exactly the kind of foundation this discipline needs, and Red Vector is proud to stand behind it as a founding sponsor.”

“Insider risk is not owned by any one function. It lives at the intersection of cybersecurity and corporate security, of the SOC and the investigations team, of HR, legal, and physical security. The ITM gives all those professionals a common vocabulary, which means faster investigations, cleaner escalations, and programs that can finally measure themselves against a shared standard. A stronger, better-equipped community benefits every organization working to get ahead of insider risk, and that is a mission we support without reservation.”

-Stephen Layne, Chief Executive Officer – Red Vector, Inc.

“We are delighted to welcome Red Vector as a founding sponsor of the Insider Threat Matrix™. The ITM exists to provide insider risk and insider threat teams worldwide with a rigorous, practitioner-built reference on how insider incidents really happen, so investigators can move from intuition to evidence, benchmark their detection coverage, and share findings in a language their peers understand. Founding sponsors like Red Vector make it possible to keep that resource free, independent, and continuously improving for the entire community.”

-James Weston, Co-Founder – Forscie

The Insider Threat Matrix™ remains vendor-neutral and freely available to practitioners, security teams, and organizations building or maturing insider threat programs. More information on the framework is available at insiderthreatmatrix.org
