Introduction
In recent years, organizations have faced an increasing number of insider threats, which can result in significant financial and reputational damage. Traditional methods of detecting insider threats, such as manual monitoring and rule-based systems, have proven to be ineffective in identifying and mitigating these risks. As a result, there is a growing interest in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to enhance insider threat detection capabilities.
This thesis explores the effectiveness of AI in detecting insider threats within organizations. The study will examine the current state of insider threat detection, the limitations of existing approaches, and the potential benefits of integrating AI technologies into this process. By analyzing the use of AI in detecting insider threats, this research aims to provide insights into how organizations can improve their security posture and protect against internal threats.
