The Cavalry Isn’t Coming - DoD’s Threat Lab and its Mission to Serve the Enterprise

Government insider threat programs are unfunded mandates, and in the private sector they are often viewed as cost centers. As a result, many programs are under-resourced, and even though the insider threat is a human problem, organizations rarely fund in-house social and behavioral science (SBS) research support. Enter - The Threat Lab.

The Defense Personnel and Security Research Center (PERSEREC) created The Threat Lab to provide publicly available, operationally relevant, empirically robust research and artifacts. Stephanie Jaros will provide an overview of The Threat Lab and discuss how collaboration across government, industry, and academia will move the counter-insider threat mission forward.
