Design insider threat hands-on labs

Insider threat continues to be of serious concern to governmental organizations and also to private companies. There is few hands-on labs/modules available for training current students, the future information assurance professionals. This paper will classify the different actors and vectors involved in these attacks focusing specifically on Information Technology (IT) sabotage, theft of intellectual property and insider fraud. Then, we will describe how to design virtual hands-on labs mainly to current or future technology security professionals. The training hands-on labs will enhance trainee's knowledge and practical security skills about how to mitigate insider threat attacks. In addition, the training hands-on labs will be implemented via CyberCIEGE, an innovative video game and tool to teach computer and network security concepts.
