But until then, we'll continue to rely on endpoint solutions and monitoring of watch listed employees --perhaps those below the performance line, those followed by HR problems, employees upset by circumstance, or whatever the motivation --technical indicators at the end point can be an effective means of detection and while I'd hate to say mitigation, there is an opportunity to reduce the risk.
I'll be sitting a panel in Rocky Hill, CT next week on just this subject.
Care to join us? Here's the c-vite. The agenda is shown below.
Interested in insider threat? We look forward to seeing you!

"Insider Threat, Incident Response and More..."
The ISACA-GHC Members have spoken and we listened!
Based
on your feedback and requests we have assembled the following topics:Human Side of Data Protection (David Gibson): The most valuable, fastest growing asset a business owns is its human-generated data: documents, spreadsheets, videos, presentations, and emails that people create and share every day. Breaches involving human-generated data happen almost every day. Why? Because employees have far more access than they need, activity is usually not logged or analyzed, and it's difficult to spot abuse. During this presentation you’ll hear how there is a way big data analytics can help lock down overexposed data, prevent breaches, reduce excessive permissions, and enable a sustainable data protection strategy in the face of unprecedented data growth. Massive Scale Endpoint Incident Response (Neal Creighton): Security teams and incident responders are challenged to prioritize the alerts they receive from network-based devices. Next-generation endpoint detection and response technology is helping these teams more contextually investigate, and verify incidents for faster, more efficient resolution. This session will provide an overview of how new endpoint technologies bring in stealth data collection, Big Data correlation and behavioral threat analysis to augment and even improve the ROI of other security ops platforms. Insider Threats (David Gibson): The recent spate of highly publicized breaches has drawn attention to one of the issues that keeps security professionals up at night – once an attacker is “inside” the network, their activities are often difficult to spot and recover from. This is true of outside attackers that compromise the credentials and systems of employees, as well as employees that are “breaking bad” or unwittingly exposing sensitive files. This session will review the anatomy of typical outside-in attacks including infiltration, data gathering, and exfiltration, and then discuss methods and techniques for analyzing file analysis records to spot and stop potentially malicious activity from both insiders and external attackers. Transforming Security Through Distributed Systems and Micro-Segmentation (Colin Ross): With the shift to cloud and mobile computing, security architectures have not kept pace with modern data center architectures. In a world where perimeters have largely disappeared, organizations need to consider security models designed for virtualized and cloud environments. We will discuss how Distributed Systems enable security to scale horizontally, adding capacity dynamically based on need. We will also discuss how Distributed Systems offer a superior architecture for security by providing simplified operations, more effective threat analysis, and better economics. Breaking Down the Cyber Kill Chain (Ryan Wager): The threat landscape continues to evolve faster than the technologies being built to control it. In this discussion we will focus on breaking down the parts of the Cyber Kill chain that occur within today's datacenter perimeter and current security best practices. Specific examples of real attacks will be utilized to illustrate each point. Panel Discussion This panel discussion will look at some of the key issues around cybersecurity, threat detection, managed security, next-generation threat modeling and address audience questions on new, innovative ways to effectively counter attackers and eliminate threats. Moderator: Steven Harper, Northeast Regional Sales manager for CounterTack. Steven manages the U.S and Canadian business on the East Coast. He has been in the Internet and Cyber Security industry since 1994 and his background includes companies such as BBN (Bolt, Beranek, and Newman) and Exodus Communications where he was a member of the Cyber Attack Tiger Team.
