Current Filter: Security>>>>>> Oxford University School calls for respondents to survey on insider cyber security threats Editorial Type: News Date: 03-2014 Views: 1990  |  | ||
| As part of a major Cabinet Office effort to help organisations defend themselves against security incidents caused by insiders, Professor David Upton of Oxford University’s Said Business School is leading an important research project - Corporate Insider Threat Detection: Cyber Security Inside and Out (CITD) As part of the project, his team is collecting views and data from IT professionals, C-suite executives and board members to help understand how companies should manage insider-based cyber-threats.
The anonymous survey can be taken online at: The survey closes on 1 April 2014. Those who participate will receive benchmarking feedback, allowing them to see how their company’s practices compare with other enterprises tackling the growing threats from cyber-insiders. Stewardship of companies’ cyber-security is increasingly being seen as an important element of managers’ fiduciary responsibility, while the intensity and variety of threats from cyberspace continues to increase. The ultimate purpose of the research is to provide companies with the potential for near real-time detection of insider threat activities within their enterprise – and to halt attacks before they cause signifficant harm.
