What does the CI approach involve when looking into an individual's behavior?

The CI (Counter-Insider) approach primarily involves risk-based management for prioritizing security measures, which means systematically assessing the potential risks associated with an individual's behavior in relation to insider threats. This approach requires a thorough understanding of the individual's role, the criticality of the data they access, and their overall trustworthiness within the organization. By employing a risk-based framework, organizations can determine which behaviors or indicators warrant closer scrutiny, allowing them to allocate resources and security measures effectively to mitigate risks before they lead to insider incidents.

In contrast, the other options focus on specific elements that do not encompass the full spectrum of the CI approach. A comprehensive review of health records may be relevant in specific situations but does not directly correlate to assessing insider threats. Regularized performance assessments may provide insight into employee productivity or engagement, yet they do not specifically address the nuances of threat potential. Evaluating only work-related communications could provide some indications of risk but fails to capture the broader behavioral patterns and risk factors critical to a holistic risk-based approach. Therefore, prioritizing security measures through risk management remains integral to effectively implementing the CI approach in identifying and assessing insider threat risks.
