Using analytics to proactively deter insider threats

If your organization entrusts employees, partners, or contractors with access to sensitive data and resources, then you face the risk of insider threats. They occur much more frequently today – and on a grander scale than ever before. But most organizations are failing to head off threats because they are handling them in an ad-hoc, reactive manner. As explored in this paper, companies need a combination of best-of-breed data integration and a hybrid analytical approach to uncover hidden, suspicious behaviors and activities and see the bigger picture. It’s the key to circumventing a potential terrorist plot, thwarting an espionage mission, reducing fraud transactions, and addressing insider threats.
