A groundbreaking exploration of how to identify and fight security threats at every level
This revolutionary book combines real-world security scenarios with actual tools to predict and prevent incidents of terrorism, network hacking, individual criminal behavior, and more. Written by an expert with intelligence officer experience who invented the technology, it explores the keys to understanding the dark side of human nature, various types of security threats (current and potential), and how to construct a methodology to predict and combat malicious behavior. The companion CD demonstrates available detection and prediction systems and presents a walkthrough on how to conduct a predictive analysis that highlights proactive security measures.
- Guides you through the process of predicting malicious behavior, using real world examples and how malicious behavior may be prevented in the future
- Illustrates ways to understand malicious intent, dissect behavior, and apply the available tools and methods for enhancing security
- Covers the methodology for predicting malicious behavior, how to apply a predictive methodology, and tools for predicting the likelihood of domestic and global threats
- CD includes a series of walkthroughs demonstrating how to obtain a predictive analysis and how to use various available tools, including Automated Behavior Analysis
Predicting Malicious Behavior fuses the behavioral and computer sciences to enlighten anyone concerned with security and to aid professionals in keeping our world safer.

AuBA-Developed Model An AuBA model, once constructed and validated, may be used to predict future behavior. Instead of relying on statistical associations, AuBA relies on extracting the context of each example of past behavior. The context of behavior consists of antecedent conditions and situations associated with the behavior. If the behavior occurring within past contexts is successful for the person or group, behavior is more likely to occur in the future when the same or highly similar.
ThemeMate can be directed through a focused search feature to develop themes in a very specific area to the exclusion of others; therefore, a single general collection of documents may be used to identify antecedents to specific behaviors. ThemeMate produces keywords associated with a specific theme that may be used as a search string for Internet searches (for example, with Google) that brings back the same and highly similar documents to enhance the foundation corpus being used for analysis.
Accompanied by wives Nancy Reagan and Raisa Gorbachev, respectively. I remember well the excitement and palpable tension in the air as the leaders and wives came together for remarks. Security was high on both sides, and the event was a microcosm that underscored the tension between the two countries on a global basis. However, almost overnight in December 1991 the world went from two superpowers to one. We truly missed the fall of the Soviet Union. Perhaps because this was the strongest and.
That we should not overreact to an assault or attack; rather we should meet malicious behavior directed at us with a measured response that is equal to the initial assault. Because of this overriding principle in the Mideast, there has not been an overwhelming response to defeat the adversary. Instead, one assault begets a response in kind. That response is viewed as an attack and begets a response from the adversary, and so on and so on. For this reason, at least from a behavioral perspective,.
By counting the types of past tactics of a group such as Hezbollah or al-Qaeda, you can discover the base rate of behavior, which is simply the percentage that certain tactics such as assault, bombing, hijacking, and so on have occurred in all past attacks. This approach tells us the preferred methods from the most frequent to the least frequent. However, it is not sufficient for true prediction of future behavior. Using a behavior analysis to identify antecedents and consequences of behavior.
