The way you control this problem is intelligent use of existing data.
You have the ability to monitor activity across the network, and know which systems have been accessed along with physical security logs. You then start to build a picture of behaviour patterns, and over a short time begin to get an idea of the worst offenders. There are some sophisticated data mining tools out there that can be "pointed" in the right direction to achieve this.
With the right reporting unusual behaviour sticks out like a puppies nose.
Once your staff know you have this capability, watch as your "incidents" drop faster than Wayne Rooney in the 'box.
A final thought:
If salespeople are such a potential threat, imagine what can be achieved if those salespeople collude with external threat!
