Insider Threat Program Evaluator

This three-day, instructor-led, course presents strategies for measuring and evaluating an operational insider threat program within an organization. Using scenario-based exercises, this course takes participants through the steps to conduct an insider threat program evaluation. This training is for insider threat program managers, evaluators, and team members and for those interested in licensing the CERT methodology and tools to perform an insider threat program evaluation. This course may also benefit those working in auditing or risk management.

This training is based upon the research of the CERT Insider Threat Center of the Software Engineering Institute. The CERT Insider Threat Center has been researching this problem since 2001 in partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), the Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Secret Service, other federal agencies, the intelligence community, private industry, academia, and the vendor community. This training course supports organizations implementing and managing insider threat detection and prevention programs based on various government mandates or guidance including: Presidential Executive Order 13587, the National Insider Threat Policy and Minimum Standards, and proposed changes set forth in the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM).
