Abstract EN
Insider threats are a considerable problem within cyber security and it is often difficult to detect these threats using signature detection.
Increasing machine learning can provide a solution, but these methods often fail to take into account changes of behaviour of users.
This work builds on a published method of detecting insider threats and applies Hidden Markov method on a CERT data set (CERT r4.2) and analyses a number of distance vector methods (Damerau–Levenshtein Distance, Cosine Distance, and Jaccard Distance) in order to detect changes of behaviour, which are shown to have success in determining different insider threats.
