The many minds of MITRE: building multidisciplinary human insider-risk research
About this episode
Dr Deanna D. Caputo discusses the importance of human-centered approaches in insider-risk programs and the limitations of user-activity data.
How do insider-risk programmes work when they are built around people, not just data? Dr Deanna D. Caputo, Chief Scientist for Insider Threat Capabilities at MITRE, explains what multidisciplinary, human-centred insider-risk work looks like in real organisations, why user-activity data has limits, and how carefully designed field experiments can improve reporting and detection. We also touch on new research exploring whether typical insider-risk telemetry contains early indicators of suicide risk.
