Insider Threat Mitigation Using Moving Target Defense and Deception

The insider threat has been subject of extensive study and many approaches from technical perspective to behavioral perspective and psychological perspective have been proposed to detect or mitigate it. However, it still remains one of the most difficult security issues to combat. In this paper, we propose an ongoing effort on developing a systematic framework to address insider threat challenges by laying a scientific foundation for defensive deception, leveraging moving target defense (MTD), an emerging technique for providing proactive security measurements, and integrating deception and MTD into attribute-based access control (ABAC).
