IMA Webinar: Economic Espionage: Behavioral Study on Employee Reporting of Insider Threat Incidents
Presented by InfraGard Chicago & MITRE Corporation

MITRE Corporation, a FFRDC research and development, behavioral scientists conducted a sensitive behavioral experiment, the first of its kind, to derive a data-driven understanding of why employees do not report insider threat incidents. To accomplish this, MITRE sent out a series of LinkedIn messages from a recruiter with ties to a foreign adversary to 300 employees at a medium size company. The LinkedIn messages were crafted from actual messages used by foreign adversaries. Followed-up by employee interviews, MITRE leveraged the data and findings to evaluate assumptions about low reporting rates including perceptions of security reporting mechanisms, concerns about anonymity, fears about retaliation for reporting, and expectations about responses from security after reporting. Based on that analysis, the MITRE research team made evidence-based recommendations for how security awareness programs, security reporting programs, and Insider Threat/Risk Programs can improve employee reporting of insider threats at their organization.
