Guest Editorial: Managing Insider Security Threats
At present, the most acute problem for any company is the leakage of information. It can occur for a number of independent reasons, but often the prerequisites lie in the employees themselves, and not external threats. Insiders pose a great threat to any organization and enterprise. According to opinions of security experts, about 80% of intrusions and attacks are performed either from within the controlled zone by the employees of the organization itself, or from outside with their knowledge or with direct participation. The special issue is aimed to demonstrate some of the latest developments in the area of managing insider security threats. The issue focuses on problems related to security and cryptography technologies to prevent, detect and predict insider threats. This special issue includes four papers that outline different aspects of the Insider Security. These papers are selected from papers originally presented at the 9th InternationalWorkshop on Managing Insider Security ?Threats (MIST’17) in conjunction with the ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS), Dallas, TX, USA, October 30, 2017.
