Unintentional Insider Threats Countermeasures Model (UITCM)

Abstract

Most organisations see technological controls as the solution to their information security problems. However, with all these technologies, it was evidently investigated that human errors are unavoidable.Unintentional insider is the biggest insider threat of all.Thus the objective of this paper is to propose a conceptual model as a countermeasure towards unintentional insider threats The proposed model in this research was adapted from (Generic Mitigation Strategies for Information Leaks) developed by Wan (2018) and (2019), It was expanded by combining it with UIT Mitigation Strategies and Countermeasures recommendations mentioned by previous studies.
