Even after the high-profile Edward Snowden leaks of information from the National Security Agency, most organizations still aren’t taking insider threats as seriously as they should be. Too many organizations have not yet identified insider threats as being a critical issue. Yet, recent survey data indicates that insider fraud is the biggest threat to an organization.
Tracking and analyzing data that spans years is critical to detecting patterns that may indicate collusion or some other type of insider compromise. A common warning sign of insider fraud is the downloading of files or documents that are not germane to an employee’s job.
In this presentation, Michael Theis, Chief Counterintelligence Expert at Carnegie Mellon University CERT Insider Threat Center discusses the types of insider schemes organizations most commonly face and the steps they can take to mitigate these risks. The presentation will:
- Discuss types of insider threats and organization faces;
- Review data and insights from the 2014 US State of Cybercrime Survey;
- Define the types of insider threat activities; and
- Provide mitigation strategies.
