Insider threats are current or former employees who have or have had privileged access within an organization and who are or may be engaged in malicious behavior associated with fraud, theft of IP, espionage, sabotage, and workplace violence. These employees may cause devastating consequences because of their knowledge of and access to employers’ systems and information. The scope of this workshop is to concentrate on mitigating insider threats through technical approaches rather than behavioral approaches. This workshop will bring together researchers with the aim of sharing algorithms, anomaly detection techniques, creation of reliable test data, software applications for detecting insider threats, active and passive indicators, visualization methods, statistical measures, etc.
