Description
The CERT Guide to Insider Threats: Preventing, Detecting, and Responding to Information Technology Crimes This book provides practical guidance on preventing, detecting, and responding to insider cyber crimes, including theft, sabotage, and fraud. Based on the CERT(R) Insider Threat Center's analysis of over 700 insider cyber crimes, the authors offer specific countermeasures and defensive measures to protect systems and data. The book systematically addresses attacks by various types of malicious insiders, including employees, contractors, and business partners, and covers all major types of insider cyber crime. It also conveys the big picture of the insider threat problem, highlighting the complex interactions and unintended consequences of existing policies, practices, technology, insider mindsets, and organizational culture. The authors offer actionable recommendations for the entire organization, from executive management to IT, data owners, HR, and legal departments. By understanding the patterns of suspicious behavior and the motivations behind insider cyber crimes, organizations can take proactive steps to prevent and detect these threats, and respond effectively in the event of an incident.
