".More damage is being done by insiders than by foreign spies.."
- Dr. Stephen A. Cambone,
Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence

The government has an obligation to hold every employee to the high standards of trust and confidentiality their position demands. But in order to compose an accurate picture of potential insider threats, they are now forced to manually link information from multiple insider data sources and documents.. Other behavioral factors also need to be considered, such as an employee's stress level, work attendance, and work incidents and compared against known insider threat modus operandi.
Trust Assurance is an Obligation
Federal employees who have access to classified or sensitive information expect to be scrutinized to protect against information or capabilities being compromised. Employees are obligated not to disclose; government agencies are obligated to enforce their agreement.
Past Precedents Demand a Proactive Approach.
In past cases where information was compromised, experts agree that the indicators were there, but it was too hard to link them together to spot problems. The community must catch indicators early and create an environment in which consequences are clear to protect against carelessness and deter activities or behaviors by cleared personnel which may be criminal or otherwise detrimental to national security..
.But Lack of Context Makes Enforcement Difficult
Because information is captured in different systems, at different times, in different formats, it is difficult to evaluate whether any one item is unusual. Each piece of data is out of context, so analysts are often forced to look manually in many different places to compose a picture of the situation. Risks fly under the radar in each area so they may not be captured until its too late.

Integrated Trust Assurance Management System (ITAMS)
Digital Harbor's ITAMS solution provides unprecedented investigation, case management, and dashboard capabilities for insider threat management. The solution links information from multiple insider data sources and documents and provides a means for a manager to enter behavioral information manually that could not be captured in an automated way, such as an employee's stress level, work attendance, and work incidents.
"Compose a Picture"
ITAMS is built upon Digital Harbor's unique Composite Application platform, which makes it possible to combine data from multiple systems in a single unified view to help you compose a picture of the situation, understand it, and act on it.
Key Capabilities
- Contextual 360-degree views of information related to a threat (no data replication)
- Real-time direct access to multiple data sources and documents (without moving them)
- A foreign travel reporting database
- Operations reports and debriefings
- Employee background information and financial records
- Network and cyber activity logs
- Other databases, lists, web sites, intranet
- Other documents, images, email, charts
- Correlation of structured and unstructured data (data, documents, maps, web, logs)
- Rule-based alert screening
- Rich Visualization (maps, timelines, link analysis views)
- Flexibility to adapt to changing threats, technologies, & processes
- Train-of-thought ad-hoc analysis
- Collaborative workflow with auditing and role-based security
