Whole Person Insider Risk Management

Challenges for Managing Insider Risk

Most insider risk management (IRM) 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

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 IRM.

Point Solutions

“Point” solutions, such as Microsoft Sharepoint and Microsoft Word, are often used as a starting point for a rudimentary insider risk management 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

Cogility’s integrated case management solution delivers more effective investigative and mitigation processes that enable managers and analysts to more easily assign, assess, and enrich cases, and to collaborate with decision makers and mitigation participants. With our unified risk mitigation solution, program managers and stakeholders can easily monitor and report on operational performance for continuous improvement.

Identifying Insider Risk and SOFIT Ontology

Originally designed and implemented using Web Ontology Language (OWL), SOFIT has evolved into the most comprehensive knowledge base available for both technical/cyber and behavioral/psychosocial potential risk indicators. 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 insider risk management solution to enable continuous, predictive risk scoring.
