MERIT Interactive Insider Threat Training Simulator

Abstract

An organization's risk due to insider cyber attacks depends on the complex interaction of the organization's business policies and procedures, organizational culture, and technology over time. In this project, we are developing a stand-alone tool that can be used for widespread training for managers on insider threat risk mitigation. We are using state of the art multi-media technologies to develop a training simulator (which we call MERIT InterActive, or MERITIA) that immerses users in a realistic business setting from which they make decisions regarding how to prevent, detect, and respond to insider actions and see the impacts of their decisions in terms of key performance metrics.
