The OneSign Guide to Thwarting Insider Threats

Imprivata

According to a study published recently in the Journal of Computer Mediated Communication, about 80% of publicized data breaches in 2006 came from internal sources. This suggests that organizations that have focused most of their IT security efforts on protecting the perimeter are at high risk for potentially disastrous insider security breaches. Recognizing the magnitude of the insider threat, Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute has conducted research on the problem and issued a report that recommends 13 best practices that can help organizations prevent and detect insider threats. This Imprivata paper discusses the effectiveness of the Imprivata OneSign Platform in supporting these best practices and countering the insider threat.
