Insider Threat Solutions

Insiders have the most access to sensitive systems and data and thus represent your greatest risk. We can help you build an insider threat program that effectively identifies compromised credentials or malicious individuals.

Insider Threats Pose Significant Risks

There are serious risks and consequences associated with insider threats, and malicious insiders can cause serious potential damage such as unauthorized access to sensitive data, intellectual property theft, sabotage, and reputational harm. The evolving nature of insider threats means there is a consistent need for proactive measures to detect, address, and mitigate potential damage.

In worst-case scenarios, malicious insiders within your organization can compromise your network security to steal your data or sabotage – or even destroy – your systems. With our insider threat solutions, you can arm yourself with the tools to invest in insider threat prevention and stay abreast of compromised employees and malicious threats.

Building Your Insider Threat Management Program

Our team of highly skilled security practitioners understands the requirements for creating a robust insider threat capability, which we have done for both government and commercial organizations.

We start with your existing cybersecurity capabilities, utilizing your SIEM and log analytics platforms as the foundation, and extend those capabilities with machine learning to build out a robust insider threat program and reduce your risk.

Our Approach to Insider Threats

Our team builds an approach that focuses on the two key areas of insider threat:

  • Malicious insiders
  • Compromised credentials

We focus on your existing technology solutions and identify areas for tuning to create greater visibility. Our experts focus on the gaps within your environment to create an insider threat capability that increases your overall visibility, while also meeting regulatory compliance.

Leverage a Team of Insider Threat Experts

Our team of experts has helped support the build-out of insider threat programs at both private and public organizations. We have focused on building out a robust capability that enables investigators, analysts, and HR administrators to identify malicious threats, and empowers cybersecurity personnel to identify compromised user accounts.

Insider Threat Technologies to Consider

Building out an insider threat program requires certain technologies to help identify threats and enforce policies.

  • Log/Audit: Establishing a robust log/audit capability is critical for meeting all legal challenges if required
  • Visibility: You must have the ability to monitor and review traffic moving throughout your organization, both laterally and externally
  • Identity: Creating an identity management/governance plan for users and their many accounts includes the capability to track a user account and their access across the organization
  • User Activity Monitoring (UAM): Understanding user activity is necessary in order to identify insider threats. This capability is based upon triggers and events to monitor user activity on a system
  • Machine Learning (ML): We understand the difference between supervised and unsupervised machine learning as well as how they help support an insider threat program. While most insider threat solutions require data scientists to create use cases, our team has helped numerous organizations utilize unsupervised ML-based capabilities to identify insider threats, ultimately reducing the need to maintain use cases to find these types of threats

We Help You Ensure CNSS 504 Compliant Solutions

Our team of experts has supported the build-out of CNSS 504-compliant solutions that exceed the requirements for insider threat. We understand the complexity of CNSS 504 and work within the requirement to design and develop a solution that meets the needs of both enterprise network and cloud-based solutions. We help you navigate the complexity of using legacy technology solutions and map them into an all-encompassing program to support your efforts around insider threats.

Implement Insider Threat Monitoring

Our insider threat monitoring solutions can help organizations such as yours detect suspicious activities, anomalies, and potential insider threats in real time. To enable continuous monitoring and proactive incident responses, we:

  • Implement employee monitoring to grant insight into users’ daily activities, making it easier to hone in on potentially malicious activity when it occurs
  • Use AI/ML to reliably identify behaviors that deviate from standard behavioral trends and alert managers of potentially suspicious behavior
  • Perform regular audits with automated event auditing tools to stay ahead of potentially fraudulent activity
  • Leverage behavior analytics to automate our auditing and establish a baseline activity profile for all of your users
