Insider threats are malicious activities by authorized users, such as theft of intellectual property or security information, fraud, and sabotage. Although the number of insider threats is much lower than external network attacks, insider threats can cause extensive damage. As insiders are very familiar with an organization’s system, it is very difficult to detect their malicious behavior. Traditional insider-threat detection methods focus on rule-based approaches built by domain experts, but th
