Internal user threats such as information leakage or system destruction can cause significant damage to the organization, however it is very difficult to prevent or detect this attack in advance. In this paper, we propose an anomaly-based insider threat detection method with local features and global statistics over the assumption that a user shows different patterns from regular behaviors during harmful actions. We experimentally show that our detection mechanism can achieve superior performance compared to the state of the art approaches for CMU CERT dataset.
