(PAEI)\u2014specifically social media and commercially available databases\u2014for personnel security determinations and insider threat purposes, according to a new white paper issued by the Arlington, VA-based Intelligence and National Security Alliance (INSA) on February 7.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insaonline.org\/new-insa-report-examines-use-of-publicly-available-electronic-information-for-security-determinations-insider-threat\/\">The Use of Publicly Available Electronic Information for Insider Threat Monitoring<\/a><\/em>, developed by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insaonline.org\/councils\/insider-threat-subcommittee\/\">INSA Insider Threat Subcommittee<\/a>, recommends the Director of National Intelligence, as the government\u2019s Security Executive Agent, work with the Defense Department, which will assume government-wide investigation and adjudication responsibilities, to take several key steps, including:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Determine what sources of publicly available information are relevant to security determinations;<\/li>\n<li>Develop a single legal interpretation of what PAEI, including social media data, may be collected and analyzed for personnel security purposes; and<\/li>\n<li>Establish policies for how PAEI, including social media data, may be used for security-related personnel determinations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>To do so, the government must determine what PAEI constructively informs a risk assessment, what types are appropriate to use, and how to use such data to make both initial and ongoing assessments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOrganizations would be irresponsible to ignore publicly available data when assessing personnel security risks, but it\u2019s neither productive nor desirable to collect every piece of information that might exist,\u201d said Chuck Alsup, INSA president.\u00a0\u201cThe DNI should lead a government effort to determine what data is relevant, how to interpret it, and how to balance security needs with employees\u2019 reasonable expectations of privacy.\u00a0 Private companies can then build on policies and standards set by the government to develop their own practices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Defined as information that is available to the public on an electronic platform such as a website, social media, or database (whether for a fee or not), PAEI can provide insights into an individual\u2019s perceptions, plans, intentions, associations, and actions.\u00a0 This data can help employers determine whether an employee poses a potential threat to themselves or the organization.\u00a0 Criteria for evaluating social media may be particularly difficulty to establish, both because social media postings may not clearly indicate potential security risks and because social media monitoring by an employer may be seen as overly intrusive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCompanies are struggling to develop strategies to leverage the significant value that public data provides to insider risk mitigation, particularly as the \u2018borderless work environment\u2019 expands,\u201d says Val LeTellier, principal author of the report and member, INSA Insider Threat Subcommittee. \u201cThe report provides a framework of the most important factors to consider when developing culturally viable and operationally effective policies.\u00a0To use PAEI effectively, government agencies and private firms need a single set of parameters for what data to use and how to evaluate it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Download a copy of the report at <u><a href=\"http:\/\/www.insaonline.org\">www.insaonline.org<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n<p>Source:
