Best Practices for Insider Threat Detection
Below are the practices for detecting insider threats-
- Identify and detect the unauthorized accounts that try to log in to organization accounts. Behavioral analysis helps to check user behavior and helps to detect any suspicious activity from unauthorized users.
- Use sentiment analysis to check user behavior and give insights.
- Auditing also helps with insider detection. Organizations ask employees to check the user’s activity and help detect threats. Auditing contains two parts Manual auditing and automated auditing. In manual auditing, we have to check and identify what activity the user performed. If we find any suspicious activity we have to report and investigate further. In automated auditing, we can use various tools and AI technologies that give the user behavior. By using AI and machine learning, we can detect insider threats more quickly.
- Develop an Insider threat program that helps to detect and respond the insider incidents that recover the organization from any damages.
- Use a zero trusted approach that doesn’t trust anyone inside or outside the network. If the employees leave the organization that case don’t give access to the data if they have not worked. And if the employees working in that case check with the security officers to monitor the employee’s login activity.
