Insider threat vulnerability analysis - MAIT update
A computer-based method for security system evaluation and improvement called Matrix Analysis for the Insider Threat (MAIT) was developed and reported on previously by Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). MAIT is a sophisticated method for the analysis of safeguards or security systems that determines if single or multiple insiders can covertly sabotage a facility or system or can covertly divert a resource that is present in the facility or system. The MAIT code was initially developed for application to theft from fuel cycle facilities. The MAIT method provides a detailed, organized way to exhaustively examine the safeguards or security system against these covert threats. An evaluation of this broad scope is beyond the reasonable capability of an analyst working without computer assistance. The MAIT analysis is conducted by first manually collecting detailed facility design data and access and control information for each individual safeguard measure. With this information, the MAIT computer code synthesizes every possible situation and returns data to the analyst concerning those particular events that are not adequately projected.
