Handling Insider Threat Management for Detection and Response to Data Exfiltration

Updated: Oct 14, 2022




Traditional network-based data loss prevention methods no longer operate as the perimeter moves to the user and application. Due to the Internet's widespread distribution of users and the apps they access, there is no longer a single point of egress for the network where data can be controlled to flow. In this new distributed environment, we must reconsider how we identify and address data exfiltration.


Let's begin with your staff. Nowadays, employees are mobile. They can connect from their homes, workplaces, airports, and even coffee shops. They are using SaaS-based applications, your data centre, and the cloud to access data. The same is valid for your outside contractors. It is complicated, difficult, and expensive to try to centralise all communications and access in one location.


However, how can you know whether they are taking data? By monitoring user activity from data gathered on UNIX/Linux, Windows, and Mac endpoints for both employees and outside contractors, ObserveIT transfers insider threat management from the network to the endpoint. With the help of ObserveIT's user session monitoring tools, you can be informed of any potential policy violation and have a complete record of what happened, how, when, and by whom. How does it function?


  • The software agents of ObserveIT track and record important information concerning insider threats. ObserveIT logs user sessions, including keyboard, mouse, and screen activity, as well as local and remote logins, and instantly sends the collected information to a dashboard.

  • The key workspace for ObserveIT is the dashboard, which gives you the ability to identify insider risks, look into abnormalities, inform users, and maintain privacy.

  • By delivering full visual captures, accurate activity trails, and metadata from your users, ObserveIT streamlines and simplifies the investigation process and enables a prompt and thorough reaction to insider threat occurrences.

To effectively identify and stop insider threats in a highly distributed environment, you must continuously monitor all user behaviour. The network isn't the greatest choice anymore. Your business can quickly identify and reduce risk with ObserveIT by keeping an eye on user activity right at the endpoints.
