Special Issue on Insider Threat Modeling and Simulation
This special issue demonstrates how modeling and simulation can help understand the insider threat problem and help test mitigation controls in a secure environment.
Abstract
This special issue of the journal Computational and Mathematical Organization Theory demonstrates the potential for modeling and simulation science to not only help understand the insider threat problem, but also to help test mitigation controls in a secure environment.
