Whole Person Counter-Insider Threat

Challenge

Most counter insider threat (C-InT) programs are reactive – solely monitoring for security violations and anomalies. Organizations need to detect and respond to suspicious and malicious user activity, but a reactive insider risk posture is too late and too costly.

Insider Threats on the Rise

71% of organizations have 21 to 40 insider
threat incidents per year¹

Costly Malicious Incidents

25% of organizations had a malicious insider incident costing an average $16M annually/organization¹

Delayed Detection & Containment

66% of organizations took more than 62 days to detect and contain insider incidents, 35% took over 90 days¹

Solution

Cogility’s Counter-Insider Threat (C-InT) provides a whole person approach to detect, prevent, and mitigate insider threats. Cogility continuously monitors and analyzes both technical and behavioral potential risk indicators (PRIs) at machine-speed to identify insider risk with full traceability. Combined with its advanced case management, Cogility modernizes C-InT programs to help organizations more efficiently and effectively respond to and avoid incidents.

“With the capabilities of data stream processing, model extensibility, advanced analytics for both technical security and behavioral factors, and integrated case management – Cogility offers the right strategic blend for effective whole person risk management. [This] positions the Cogility C-InT solution as a valuable tool for proactive insider threat management – and as a market leader.²“

Case Management Matters

The insider risk management and case management toolset you choose has a massive impact. The wrong choice will increase case file backlog and force your organizations into a reactive posture. But the right choice can improve case manager efficiency and enable a proactive approach. Move from “point solutions” and “daisy-chaining” to a built-for-purpose, integrated approach with Cogility C-InT.

Point Solutions

“Point” solutions, such as Microsoft Sharepoint and Microsoft Word, are often used as a starting point for a rudimentary C-InT program. However, over reliance on point solutions and legacy systems results in overburdened case analysts and operations teams, greater delays, and reactive responses to threats.

Daisy Chaining

“Daisy Chaining” attempts to link a variety of tools can initially keep costs low, but the approach is brittle and disjointed. It is typically prone to human error as users attempt to connect related content. As organizations attempt to scale this approach, case tracking, collaboration and operational management become increasingly inconsistent and disorganized.

Integrated

As an integrated solution, Cogility’s case management features facilitate more effective investigative and mitigation processes. Managers and analysts can more easily assign, assess, and enrich cases, collaborate with decision makers and mitigation participants. As a unified C-InT solution, program managers and stakeholders can easily monitor and report on operational performance for continuous improvement.

SOFIT Ontology

Originally designed and implemented using Web Ontology Language (OWL), SOFIT has evolved into the most comprehensive knowledge base of individual factors (both technical/cyber and behavioral/psychosocial) available. The Sociotechnical and Organizational Factors for Insider Threat (SOFIT) ontology is unique in that it specifies the applicable organizational factors associated with insider threats. Cogility has applied SOFIT ontology components within the modeling of our Counter-Insider Threat solution.
