Identity Finder
Information Security Office
Right now, social security numbers, credit cards, bank accounts, passwords, and other highly sensitive personal information are sitting idly on your computer leaving you and your family exposed to identity theft. You may not be able to find all the places it's hidden, but hackers and thieves know where to look. They have developed viruses, spyware, back doors and other malicious code to steal this information.
Anti-virus, anti-spyware, and anti-spam don't offer in-depth searching to protect you and your family. Identity Finder goes deep, searching the computer to locate and secure potentially dangerous data - even when you don't know it exists.

MERIT InterActive: Insider Threat Training Simulation
http://www.cert.org/insider_threat/MERIT-IA_Overview.html
CERT & ETC
Using state of the art multi-media technologies, CyLab has developed a training simulator (which they call MERIT InterActive, or MERITIA) that immerses users in a realistic business setting from which they make decisions regarding how to prevent, detect, and respond to insider actions and see the impacts of their decisions in terms of key performance metrics.
MERITIA will help managers, information technology, and human resources better understand insider threat risks and the effects of decisions on the promotion or mitigation of that risk. |
