  6. An Insider is someone who exploits, or has the intention to exploit, their legitimate access to assets for unauthorised purposes Definition of an Insider

  7. Computer Crime and Security Survey 2001 • $377 million financial losses due to attacks • 49% reported incidents of unauthorized network access by insiders Insider Threat is a real threat

  8. Insider threat • Detection • Prevention • Detection based approach: • Unsupervised learning, Graph Based Anomaly Detection • Ensembles based Stream Mining Insider Threat : Continue

Unsupervised learning by Staniford-Chen and Lawrence Holder • All are static in nature. Cannot learn from evolving Data stream Related work

  10. Related Approaches and comparison with proposed solutions

  11. One approach to detecting insider threat is supervised learning where models are built from training data. • Approximately .03% of the training data is associated with insider threats (minority class) • While 99.97% of the training data is associated with non insider threat (majority class). • Unsupervised learning is an alternative for this. Why Unsupervised Learning?

  12. All are static in nature. Cannot learn from evolving Data stream Current decision boundary Data Stream Data Chunk Previous decision boundary Anomaly Data Normal Data Instances victim of concept drift Why Stream Mining

  13. Graph based anomaly detection (GBAD, Unsupervised learning) [2] + Ensemble based Stream Mining Proposed Method

  14. Determine normative pattern S using SUBDUE minimum description length (MDL) heuristic that minimizes: M(S,G) = DL(G|S) + DL(S) GBAD Approach

  15. S1 Unsupervised Pattern Discovery Graph compression and the minimum description length (MDL) principle • The best graphical pattern Sminimizes the description length of S and the description length of the graph G compressed with pattern S • where description length DL(S) is the minimum number of bits needed to represent S (SUBDUE) • Compression can be based on inexact matches to pattern S1 S1 S1 S1 S2 S2 S2

  16. Three algorithms for handling each of the different anomaly categories using Graph compression and the minimum description length (MDL) principle: • GBAD-MDL finds anomalous modifications • GBAD-P (Probability) finds anomalous insertions • GBAD-MPS (Maximum Partial Substructure) finds anomalous deletions Three types of anomalies

  22. Maintain K GBAD models • q normative patterns • Majority Voting • Updated Ensembles • Always maintain K models • Drop least accurate model Proposed Ensemble based Insider Threat Detection (EIT)

  23.

  24. Ensemble (Ensemble A, test Graph t, Chunk S) • LABEL/TEST THE NEW MODEL • 1: Compute new model with q normative • Substructure using GBAD from S • 2: Add new model to A • 3: For each model M in A • 4: For each Class/ normative substructure, q in M • 5: Results1  Run GBAD-P with test Graph t & q • 6: Results2 Run GBAD-MDL with test Graph t & q • 7: Result3 Run GBAD-MPS with test Graph t & q • 8: Anomalies Parse Results (Results1, Results2, Results3) • End For • End For • 9: For each anomaly N in Anomalies • 10: If greater than half of the models agree • 11: Agreed Anomalies  N 12: Add 1 to incorrect values of the disagreeing models • 13: Add 1 to correct values of the agreeing models • End For • UPDATE THE ENSEMBLE: • 14: Remove model with • lowest (correct/(correct + incorrect)) ratio • End Ensemble EIT –U pseudocode

  34. Evolving Insider Threat Detection using Supervised Learning

  35. Related Work • Proposed Method • Experiments & Results Outlines: Supervised Learning

  36. Related Approaches and comparison with proposed solutions

  37. Insider threat data is minority class • Traditional support vector machines (SVM) trained from such an imbalanced dataset are likely to perform poorly on test datasets specially on minority class • One-class SVMs (OCSVM) addresses the rare-class issue by building a model that considers only normal data (i.e., non-threat data). • During the testing phase, test data is classified as normal or anomalous based on geometric deviations from the model. Why one class SVM

  38. One class SVM (OCSVM) , Supervised learning + Ensemble based Stream Mining Proposed Method

  39. Maps training data into a high dimensional feature space (via a kernel). • Then iteratively finds the maximal margin hyper plane which best separates the training data from the origin corresponds to the classification rule: • For testing, f(x) < 0. we label x as an anomaly, otherwise as normal data • f(X) = <w,x> + b • where w is the normal vector and b is a bias term One class SVM (OCSVM)

  40. Maintain K number of OCSVM (One class SVM) models • Majority Voting • Updated Ensemble • Always maintain K models • Drop least accurate model Proposed Ensemble based Insider Threat Detection (EIT)

  41. D1 D2 D3 D5 D4 C5 C3 C4 C2 C1 Prediction • Divide the data stream into equal sized chunks • Train a classifier from each data chunk • Keep the best K OCSVM classifier-ensemble • Example: for K= 3 D5 D4 D6 Labeled chunk Data chunks Unlabeled chunk Addresses infinite length and concept-drift C5 C4 Classifiers Ensemble based Classification of Data Streams (supervised Learning) C1 C4 C2 C5 C3 Ensemble
