Protect your organization’s trade secrets and avoid litigation. Easily differentiate critical IP theft from everyday user mistakes.
Bring shadow IT into the light. Expose use of unsanctioned apps to take action when data moves to tools you don’t trust.
Don’t let your IP leave with departing employees. Automate workflows to mitigate risk of employees taking data with them.
Mimecast is proud to protect and support 42,000+ organizations globally, helping
them keep ahead of the ever-expanding security threat landscape.
To effectively safeguard an organization’s collaboration, a unified platform with integrated protection across all communication channels—email, chat, and file-sharing—is essential. This approach ensures comprehensive threat detection and mitigation, eliminating gaps in security and streamlining operations.
Insider threat detection software is a cybersecurity solution designed to identify, monitor, and mitigate risks that originate from within an organization. These threats may be caused by malicious insiders, negligent employees, or compromised accounts that put sensitive data, systems, or intellectual property at risk.
Insider threat detection software uses AI and machine learning to establish baselines of normal user activity and detect anomalies in real time. The system monitors behavior, file access, and data movement to flag insider risks like data exfiltration or policy violations. By integrating with SIEM, EDR, and HR systems, Mimecast extends these capabilities to deliver unified visibility and faster threat response.
Industries that handle large volumes of sensitive data or intellectual property are especially vulnerable to insider threats. These include financial services, healthcare, legal, technology, and manufacturing. Sectors like these often face strict compliance requirements and store valuable data that can be misused or leaked by malicious insiders, negligent employees, or compromised accounts.
Insider threat detection software can identify a wide range of risky behaviors, including:
Key features to consider include:
How can I implement an effective insider threat detection and mitigation strategy?
An effective insider threat strategy starts with baseline visibility—knowing where your data is, who has access, and how it’s being used. From there, combine insider threat detection software with behavioral analytics to flag unusual file movements, unauthorized access attempts, or use of unsanctioned apps.
Integrate your detection tools with incident response workflows to automate containment actions like revoking access or alerting security teams. Finally, build a culture of security with real-time user coaching, clear policies, and training that emphasizes data responsibility.
