Description
Summary:Behavior profiling technic using no-labeled historical data to build normal behavior model is an effective way to detect insider attackers. The state-of-the-art labeled profile methods extract features artificially and process data by simple statistical methods, whose incomplete behavior model lacks details. An automated feature extracting and full-detail behavior profiling method as well as a behavior sequence splitting and business state transition predicting way was proposed. Combining above two methods, an insider threats detection framework was established, which improved detection accuracy. Experimenting with CMU-CERT data set, AUC (area under curve) score was 0.88 and F1 score was 0.925. With the better performance, it can be used in detecting insider threats.
