Towards Insider Threat Resilience: A Proposed Mitigation Model

Businesses are increasingly concerned about insider threats, which highlights the need for effective mitigation strategies. This paper examines the variety of insider threats and provides a thorough plan for lowering this risk. Examining different internal threat types and their motives may help organizations identify any possible weak points. This paper also looks at technological advancements like user behavior analytics and anomaly detection as well as organizational practices like security culture promotion and employee training. It is advised to create a comprehensive framework for preventing insider threats that incorporates technology controls, organizational procedures, and human factors. In the implementation, a Windows application developed with Flutter and Dart takes user-input IP addresses to modify a Python script file using file handling. It also handles file name and path changes in the script, converts it into an executable file, and stores it with a data file. The application includes pages for inputting IP addresses, selecting files, and protecting the script. After protection, the executable file is saved in an executable folder, which can be further converted into a steganography file. This research focuses on evaluating the file’s behaviour on different networks to enhance security.
