Abstract:
Insider threat continues to be of serious concern to governmental organizations and private companies. Vulnerabilities
of the digital information being shared through mobile devices and Internet clouds increases exponentially due to
IT security mechanisms not being capable of controlling what is beyond company network limits. One of the solutions could
include providing an effective interactive framework to train future and current Information Technology security professionals
and regular employees who need to be aware of these threats in order to avoid being a victim of insider attacks. There are
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 traineeâ€™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 educate fundamental concepts for insider threat.
