As a company, we need to ensure that our employees are not leaking sensitive information. How can I use machine learning algorithms to analyze my employees' emails and chat logs to identify potential whistleblowers or leakers?

You can use machine learning algorithms to analyze your employees' emails and chat logs by employingNatural Language Processing (NLP) techniques. First, the system should identify any key phrases or words related to sensitive information and develop analytics around those words. Secondly, the system should flag any emails or conversations containing confidential data that have been sent outside of the company’s firewall. Additionally, you can create a baseline of your employee’s communication behaviors so that any significant deviations from the baseline could be flagged and investigated. Finally, if appropriate, you can use sentiment analysis to determine whether employees are speaking positively or negatively about the company.

Using machine learning algorithms to analyze employee emails and chat logs can be done, although extreme caution should be used to ensure the privacy and accuracy of the data. The algorithms themselves should use methodologies that are designed for accuracy with minimal false positives/negatives as ideally, you'd want to capture potential incidents but not wrongly accuse employees of leaking information. This type of analysis can involve natural language processing as well as text-specific mining techniques in order to detect potentially suspicious terms or phrases, and comparing them against a list of predefined sensitive words/tphrases. Similarly you may want to monitor social media or other channels for possible leaks from current/ former employees.
