The Four Mandatory Capabilities for Enterprise Insider Risk Management Platforms

Orchestration with Another Cybersecurity Platform (including SOAR)

The insider risk management platform should aggregate and correlate all SaaS users and activities by leveraging SaaS metadata sources to monitor and control all activities throughout the SaaS estate.

Dashboarding and Alerting of High-Risk Activity

The insider risk management platform should conduct end-user behavioral analytics to establish a baseline of standard business activity and automatically notify security teams of potential insider threats.
