Insider threats are one of the most damaging risk factors for the IT systems
and infrastructure of a company or an organization; identification of insider
threats has prompted the interest of the world academic research community,
with several solutions having been proposed to alleviate their potential
impact. For the implementation of the experimental stage described in this
study, the Convolutional Neural Network (from now on CNN) algorithm was used
and implemented via the Google TensorFlow program, which was trained to
identify potential threats from images produced by the available dataset. From
the examination of the images that were produced and with the help of Machine
Learning, the question of whether the activity of each user is classified as
malicious or not for the Information System was answered.
