Leveraging application integrity management to prevent insider threats

Insider threats or employee fraud can have a devastating impact on a company's bottom line performance because of the legitimate access they have to critical functions in business systems. This presentation will cover a method of applying security technology to change the behaviour and prevent the occurrence of insider fraud in the first place. Maeson will reveal how experience built up in national security and financial applications over the years has led to the development of an approach to application integrity coupled with human integrity, through the use of biometric strong authentication, along with digitally-signed and timestamped data, which is then retained as original evidence without the risk of repudiation from the user.
