Using Advanced Information Technology to Combat Insider Threats

Within the United States, fraud costs American companies approximately $400 billion a year. Companies use all manner of security tools and techniques to protect their assets, but these can be rendered useless when the perpetrators are an enterprise's own employees or trusted agents—insiders. When insiders start using false identities and technology to facilitate their crimes, they become even tougher to detect. Therefore organizations need extraordinary technology solutions to even the odds in their favor. Non-Obvious Relationship AwarenessTM, or NORATM, is such a technology. But in the end, technology alone is not enough. There is no substitute for experienced security professionals to protect an enterprise's assets. © 2001 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
