Prototype software sniffs out insider threats

摘要

Researchers are developing technology they say will use data mining and social networking techniques to spot and stop insider security threats and industrial espionage. Air Force Institute of Technology researchers have developed software that spots insider threats using an extended version of automated document indexing known as Probabilistic Latent Semantic Indexing (PLSI). This technology can discern employees' interests from e-mail and create a social-network graph showing their various interactions, researchers say.
