System Dynamics Modeling for Information Security: Invitational Group Modeling Workshop Preliminary Description of Thread on the Insider Threat Problem

Objectives of the Insider Threat Problem Thread • to develop a preliminary System Dynamics model of some important aspect of the insider threat problem, based in part on an ongoing study of insider compromises across the US critical infrastructure sectors conducted by the U.S. Secret Service and the SEI/CERT • to determine whether it is feasible to develop a generic system dynamics model for insider threat that will be useful to all organizations, or at least all organizations within a single critical infrastructure sector
