Project Summary:
In this GLE project, students from both DePaul and National Chung Cheng University collaborated to explore how they could detect insider threats by using data analytics techniques. Over the course of the project, students gain not only academic insights but also a deeper appreciation for diverse global perspectives. Due to the unstructured nature of the case, students needed to define the objectives and scope of the project, design and execute the analyses by considering different possible scenarios and explanations, highlight key findings and provide recommendations. The project not only emphasized the communicational, cultural, and educational differences in the data driven decision making processes, but also highlighted local institutional contexts and technology preferences that can influence the decisions.
