Insider threats in corporate environments: a case study for data leakage prevention
Abstract
Regardless of the established security controls that organizations have put in place to protect their digital assets, a rise in insider threats has been observed and particularly in incidents of data leakage. The importance of data as corporate assets is leading to a growing need for detection, prevention and mitigation of such violations by the organisations. In this paper we are investigating the different types of insider threats and their implications to the corporate environment, with specific emphasis to the special case of data leakage. Organisations should evaluate the risk they are facing due to insider threats and establish proactive measures towards this direction. In response to the challenging problem of identifying insider threats, we design a forensic readiness model, which is able to identify, prevent and log email messages, which attempt to leak information from an organisation with the aid of steganography.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
