CERT Insider Risk Management Measures of Effectiveness Certificate
Insider threats pose complex, enduring risks to organizations’ critical assets and require enterprise-wide efforts to manage associated risks to acceptable levels. For over 20 years, researchers in the CERT Division of the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) have been developing measurement instruments that allow organizations to identify their security posture against commonly exploited insider threat vulnerabilities. These measurement instruments were derived from the analysis of over 3,000 insider incidents. They measure the capabilities of formal insider threat and insider risk management programs against reference models that are derived from best practices and national policies. They characterize the institutionalization of the processes and practices that mature insider risk management programs rely on.
The CERT Insider Risk Management Measures of Effectiveness (IRM-MoE) Certificate program enables practitioners within insider threat and insider risk management programs to apply these measurement capabilities effectively within their own organizations. Earning this certificate helps practitioners acquire the knowledge, skills, and abilities they need to develop metrics that align with their organizations’ insider risk management goals.
