• Utilizing big data analytics to understand models, triggers, and data sets as the first layer of protection against potential threats before turning it over to a human analyst
• Current technical gaps Government is tackling to combat insider threats and a look at how industry can offer assistance
• Conducting effective continuous evaluation benchmarks while factoring in limitations of privacy and civil liberties

Why Should you Attend the Summit?

Our Insider Threat Symposium will bring together leaders from the IC, DoD, Federal Agencies, Private Industry, and Academia to discuss the efforts to develop and integrate successful insider threat programs.

In today's ever-evolving technological era, organizations are facing increasingly complex threats. One of the most challenging threats can often come from within an organization. US Government agencies are actively combatting such insider threats to protect highly sensitive information from improperly spreading and undermining our nation's security. This Symposium will focus on how to counter such threats. The solutions are both technical, including monitoring software and increased data security; as well as human, such as enhanced screening processes and behavioral analytics.

Participants in this forum will have the rare opportunity to hear from government and industry leaders to better understand the requirements and support necessary to combat, prevent, and detect insider threats by employing a combination of cyber measures, communication strategies, employee training programs, and leadership support. DSI's team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Summit's content and focus areas, and we will assemble the most respected minds in the community from operational leaders, the R&D Community, key policy-makers, as well as solution providers from industry and academia. Our non-partisan approach allows us to reach across all involved organizations bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers.
