Insecure and unauthorized practices by insiders (including outsourcers, contractors, careless employees, partners, competitors and others) can create substantial risk to critical business systems. With the expansion of insider access with more contractors, wholesale outsourcing, and broader business partnerships it is not surprising that CERT reports that the frequency and impact of insider abuse is increasing.
These risks and threats drive the need to know what users are doing with critical business systems and data. Executives and business units demand protection for their assets, their brands and their market value. Executives, IT and audit also now face pressures from federal and industry-specific requirements including SOX, HIPAA, GLBA, PCI and other regulations.
Yet security monitoring to the best practice standards recommended by CERT and others is nearly impossible to do in real-time with traditional security tools. And, using log data to get this level of information can drain valuable IT resources and still falls short of delivering real-time operational visibility and control.
Securify provides continuous, real-time visibility through monitoring 'who, what, and where' in order to prevent insider risk. Specifically, Securify helps:
- Gain real-time user-based 'watch lists' for real-time monitoring of high-risk users, and to gain alerts on misuse, such as leap-frogging and unauthorized sub-outsourcing, custom to the specific business environment
- Detect anomalous, insecure and malicious behaviors for outsourcer and privileged users in real-time
- Detect pre-cursor activity such as network scans, service probe, failed logins and worm propagation
- Detect 'exceeded thresholds' including excessive data, time, etc.
- Provide network context to detect unauthorized sources and bypass of access systems
- Fill gaps in network access control (NAC) and content monitoring and filtering (CMF) deployments by verifying all relevant traffic, even if masked
