NITTF Technical
The NITTF Technical Team is a vital component of the NITTF through its infusion of specialized expertise into other NITTF teams/work-streams as well as its development of effective and cost-effective technical solutions for the insider threat community. The Technical Team provides tailored assistance to inside threat programs spanning the IC, DoD, and NT-50 Federal Partners focusing on User Activity Monitoring (UAM), insider threat data integration and analysis, automated case management, Enterprise Audit Management (EAM), and other technical capabilities. The Technical Team also brokers classified network provider/subscriber relationships across the USG, maintains awareness of the vendor marketplace to identify tools and best practices, provides input to national-level policy frameworks, and explores solutions for emerging technical trends and vulnerabilities.
The NITTF Technical Team developed technical bulletins to provide the insider threat community additional information on key technological issues departments and agencies face when implementing insider threat programs. Bulletins are arraigned by the date of bulletins with the most recent on top. As new bulletins become available, they will be identified as new and placed on the top of the list.
