Workshop on Mitigating Insider Threats with Technical Approaches - MITTA 2016

The purpose of workshops is to provide a more interactive and focused platform for presenting and discussing new and emerging ideas. The format of paper presentations may include oral presentations, poster presentations, keynote lectures and panels. Depending on the number of presentations, workshops can be scheduled for 1 day or 2 days. All accepted papers will be published in a special section of the conference proceedings book, under an ISBN reference, and on CD-ROM support. All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library. SCITEPRESS is a member of CrossRef and every paper is given a DOI (Digital Object Identifier).

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.
