According to studies by the United States Secret Service and CERT, approximately 80% of insiders who launched attacks on their companies had exhibited negative behaviors before the incident and 92% had experienced a negative work-related event.

This paper describes how a SIM system can help your company defend against insider threats by taking logs from disparate devices and looking for patterns of attack. You will also learn more about how an effective SIM system can:

• Discover unauthorized access to information or servers and find suspicious use of encryption or other technologies used to cover one's tracks.

• Seamlessly take your company's information from many different networking and application logs and produce focus areas to use to detect an insider causing harm..

• Detect patterns of behavior indicative of insider misuse or attack and much more.
